Introduction

Cruise is an innovative TUI (Terminal User Interface) designed to streamline the management of containerization tools. Built with Go and the elegant Bubbletea framework, Cruise provides a visually rich, keyboard-first experience for interacting with containers, images, volumes, networks, and logs. It aims to address the limitations of traditional CLIs by offering an interactive and efficient alternative for developers working in a terminal-first environment.

Examples

Cruise transforms container management into an interactive experience. Users can easily navigate through different views to monitor and control various aspects of their container environment. The TUI allows for quick actions such as starting, stopping, inspecting, and deleting containers, images, volumes, and networks. It also provides detailed views on Docker artifacts and supports features like image vulnerability scanning, all accessible through a responsive terminal interface.

Why Use Cruise?

Many existing container management solutions are often limited to monitoring rather than comprehensive management. Cruise stands out by offering a full management client directly within your terminal. It helps overcome the frustrations of lengthy or repetitive CLI commands, making complex operations simple and interactive. With Cruise, you can:

Manage the lifecycles of containers, images, volumes, and networks.
Benefit from a centralized monitoring service.
Scan images for vulnerabilities.
Get detailed views on Docker artifacts.

While currently supporting Docker, Cruise has future plans to expand its scope to include multiple containerization tools, Docker Compose support, advanced image manipulation, and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
