Looks pretty nice. I love to see a real desktop app (using Qt) instead of yet another shitty Electron app. Hope that you keep working on this!

100% This.

Make desktop apps great again

Docker Desktop uses 130MB RAM for me on MacOS. I'm guessing the app is using a system webview rather than bundled chromium/electron, which is the right thing to do given how simple the UI is.

Same here, kudos for using Qt.

Can't believe we live in a timeline when using Qt is laudible

Best name ever.

Are you planning on a Qocker Spaniel DLC?

Yeah, the name is really Qt!

I wonder how you pronounce that name :D

It's impressive what Python+Qt can do in just a few hundred lines of code.

That said, it's pretty weird that they are just running the `docker` command directly and "manually" parsing the output instead of just calling docker-py, which has been around forever: https://github.com/docker/docker-py

my main reason to use CLI instead of SDK is to support Podman and second reason is to make the project simple and easy to contribute :)

Based on the screenshot, I'm not sure if this supports docker compose... it might be nice to be able to create new containers from scratch using the UI if I'm using it for managing running containers.

Wow. This is actually very very good. It's the best UI for docker I've seen so far. It's also very fast. I'll be using this from now on. Thanks!

I'm very fond of short projects like these that provide significant value. A couple hours and 500-something lines is all it took to make some of us happy.

Super cool!

Excuse me for my naive question, but why don't we use native Docker Desktop? What are the advantages of this tool?

May I ask why people are using these desktop apps instead of Portainer and other web interfaces that run inside docker?

Rancher Desktop is a good alternative that properly set up a docker installation on Windows for you.

Could've called it Quokka.

Can qt use break lines in cells ? It'd be easier to parse info.

Pretty please, make a Flatpak! I'm a Plasma user that loves native looking apps.

However, Python dependencies is a living nightmare that I won't enter.
