docker-indicator

Shows an icon in the menu bar with the status of docker and a simple menu to start/stop containers.

Why?

I often forget if docker is running and this gives a quick visual.

Status

Running (can make a connection)

Not running (or at least cannot connect to one)

It can take a few seconds to update the status if connecting to a docker machine instance

Started container list (shows on top)

Stopped container list

Usage

A dmg is provided in the releases. Otherwise, in the source directory start with npm start.

Connection

In version 0.1.0 a .docker-indicator.yaml file in your home directory is optional. If no file is found, the default socket at /var/run/docker.sock is used.

If connecting to a docker machine instance not available via a socket.

docker:
    protocol: https
    ip: 192.168.99.100
    port: 2376
    ca: /Users/user/.docker/machine/machines/default/ca.pem
    cert: /Users/user/.docker/machine/machines/default/cert.pem
    key: /Users/user/.docker/machine/machines/default/key.pem
