Curious why people feel the need for tools like this. I think git benefits massively from a graphical tool but I don't really see the point for docker, docker compose or even kubernetes. I do find CLI completions essential, though.
- Timber-6539 2y agoCLI is good and the best way to manage docker containers, however editing that compose file from a browser tab and hitting recreate slaps different. A web GUI makes it so that users who are otherwise intimidated by CLI can still make use of docker.
- globular-toast 2y agoI would be worried about where that compose file is being stored. I keep my compose files in a git repo and after I edit them just do `docker compose up -d` (in fact, I hit a key in my editor and it runs that for me, showing the output).
- Timber-6539 2y agoThose are 2 hops as opposed to editing and applying the changes from a single interface. With git, assuming you are talking about an online repo, there is always the worry of accidentally leaking credentials etc. Though I assume the project mentioned here is all local so the compose files will be saved in a local directory. I suppose the two methods (CLI and GUI) don't make much difference but they appeal to different users, maybe even different occasions for the power user.

- user- 2y agoCheck out k9s, if you use kubernetes. It made me 100x more efficient when working across multiple clusters and namespaces.
- jamesgeck0 2y agoDocker benefits from a graphical tool for the same reason as git does; both CLI tools often require using long id strings from the output of one command as the input of another command.
