history
Project history and usage
dtop is a Rust terminal dashboard for Docker container monitoring. It focuses on real-time CPU, memory, network, status, and log visibility across local and remote Docker hosts.
Project history
The public repository was created in 2025 by Amir Salihefendic, the same developer behind Dozzle. The README positions dtop as a terminal companion to Docker operations, with multi-host support over local sockets, SSH, TCP, and TLS, plus integration points for Dozzle log views.
Adoption history
dtop is young, but it entered several distribution channels quickly: Homebrew, GitHub release installers, Docker images, Nix, and Cargo. The README explicitly recommends Homebrew for macOS or Linux because the project is in active development with frequent updates.
How it is used
A typical user runs `dtop` against the local Docker daemon or passes one or more `--host` values for remote hosts. The optional YAML config lets users persist hosts, Dozzle URLs, filters, icon mode, and display preferences.
Why package nerds care
dtop matters to package nerds as part of the current wave of single-binary Rust TUIs: it overlaps with Docker dashboards, log viewers, and terminal observability tools, while still being distributed through classic package managers and container images.
Timeline
- 2025: Public amir20/dtop repository created.
- 2025: Crates.io package metadata records the `dtop` crate.
- 2025-2026: Homebrew formula distributes tagged upstream releases.
Related projects
- The README explicitly connects dtop to Docker and Dozzle. Its feature set also overlaps with terminal monitor dashboards and container log viewers.

Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
