title: Introducing dtop

# What is dtop?
|
|
|
|
`dtop` is a command-line companion to Dozzle that provides a real-time terminal view of the Docker containers running on your system. Think of it as a richer `docker ps` you can leave open in a tmux pane — and when you need the full log history, search, or charts, `dtop` lets you jump straight into Dozzle.
|
|
|
|
It connects to Docker hosts via `ssh`, `tcp`, or a local `unix socket`, making it well suited for the same multi-host setups Dozzle supports.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install with Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install dtop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or run it via Docker without installing anything:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -it ghcr.io/amir20/dtop:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Project Status
|
|
|
|
`dtop` is a new project and not feature rich as Dozzle. However, I am actively working on adding more features. I use it personally to monitor all my containers across multiple hosts on the command line. If you have suggestions then please open issues at [https://github.com/amir20/dtop/issues](https://github.com/amir20/dtop/issues).
