Current status
Detailed Description
Features:
- it can interactively manage your containers and images:
- manage? start, stop, restart, kill, delete,...
- you are able to inspect containers and images
- sen can fetch logs of containers and even stream logs real-time
- all buffers support searching and filtering
- sen receives real-time updates from docker when anything changes
- e.g. if you create a container in another terminal, sen will pick it up
- sen notifies you whenever something happens (and reports slow queries)
- supports a lot of vim-like keybindings (j, k, gg, /, ...)
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will be probably the first distribution having sen natively packaged. Benefit is the possibility to manage containers and images interactively instead of manual docker
cli usage.
