11 Must-Have Docker Tools To Simplify Your Workflow And Why CLI Is Good

A terminal window showing the LazyDocker application open. It divides the window space into panes, one for Services running, another for standalone containers, another for docker images, and volumes, and a larger pane showing log file information.
Docker is a popular tool for creating, deploying, and managing containerised applications, but managing containers, images, and configurations can become complex over time.

Here’s a detailed guide to some essential Docker tools that simplify your work, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. These tools help you monitor, troubleshoot, and manage Docker more effectively.

I do monitor and work with three different docker based servers, and activating the VPN, then opening Portainer or whatever to work on each one, can all take time. So I’m testing some of the CLI based tools listed in the linked article.

The reason is I can open a terminal window and just type ‘ssh het’ or whatever the shortcut is which I use, and instantly that opens a public private key based session into that server. I can quickly run (or keep open) the CLI app to monitor my containers. I could have three terminal windows open, one for each server, at the same time if I wish.

It is why terminal windows and apps can be super useful and lightweight for many occasions.

TUTO to survive a breakdown.

Whatever the pod on which you are registered, it may happen that it is temporarily "down", independently of the podmin's will. Don't panic, here are some tricks to anticipate.

One : Register on a second pod (a "rescue" pod) ; as all the diaspora* pods don't go down at the same time (unless you have very bad karma), you will still be able to communicate.
The list of pods is here : **https://diaspora.fediverse.observer/list

Two : Keep a list of your contacts -> under your pseudo in the upper right corner, click on Contacts, position yourself on My contacts (not All contacts). Here, two solutions :
1- Take snapshots until the end of the list. Save them somewhere on your computer.
2- Open a word processor on your computer (Word, TextEdit...) ; go back to the contacts page, click on the page at the top of the list, keep the left mouse button pressed, and scroll down to the bottom of the list : this is a highlight. Release the mouse button, click with the right button, and in the window that should normally appear, choose "Copy". Then paste that (ctrl v or cmd v) into the word processor. Save it.
(not obvious the first time, but very efficient ; do some practice...).

Three : Remember to save your data at least once a year -> under your pseudo on the top right, click on Settings, scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on Export my data, and/or Photos (export the photos). This may take a little time, so choose a time slot that is a little quiet (avoid peak bandwidth hours).

Four : On the Feed page, in the left menu, there's a section called Make a donation -> don't pretend you didn't see it ; it doesn't solve the breakdowns, but remember that the podmins are volunteers and that they offer you a really great platform, right ?... Say thank you with a little support... 😉
