Watch CPU and memory graphs for a container, and graph other metrics you choose.
Restart, remove, rebuild or attach to a container or service with one key or a mouse click.
See the layers an image was built from.
Free disk space by pruning unused containers, images or volumes.
Add your own commands to run against containers, services or images.
Change the border style of the interface.

Switch between several Docker Compose projects, or start lazydocker on a named one.
Before you upgrade
Newest firstv0.25.22026-04-19
Projects and services panels now show only inside a Compose project directory; outside one, all containers appear in a flat list.
v0.24.22025-11-14
The README's requirement went from Docker 1.13 to Docker 29.0.0 or newer (the client now speaks API 1.52); upgrade Docker before upgrading lazydocker.
v0.24.02024-07-21
The default Compose command changed from `docker-compose` to `docker compose`; to keep v1, set `commandTemplates.dockerCompose: docker-compose` in the config.
