py-pps (short for "pretty-ps") is a simple command-line tool used as an alternative for the docker ps command
As an everyday Docker user, the docker ps command output always annoyed me.
The output is very wide and not very readable.
I wanted to have a better alternative to it, so I created py-pps.
Use the package manager pip to install py-pps.
- Use the following pip command to install py-pps
pip install --target="$HOME/pypps/" py-pps- Install the Docker SDK for Python and Rich
pip install docker rich- Add py-pps to your PATH (replace
.zshrcwith your shell's configuration file)
echo "PATH=$PATH:~/pypps/bin" >> ~/.zshrcSimply run pps in your terminal:
$ pps --help
usage: pps [-h] [-j] [-v]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-j, --json Print the conatiners' data in JSON format.
-v, --version Print the binary version information.
- Add tests
- Add additional functionality (such as filtering)
