# ![release][release] ![homebrew][homebrew] Top-like interface for container metrics `ctop` provides a concise and condensed overview of real-time metrics for multiple containers:

as well as an [single container view][single_view] for inspecting a specific container. `ctop` comes with built-in support for Docker and runC; connectors for other container and cluster systems are planned for future releases. ## Install Fetch the [latest release](https://github.com/bcicen/ctop/releases) for your platform: #### Linux ```bash sudo wget https://github.com/bcicen/ctop/releases/download/v0.7.2/ctop-0.7.2-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/ctop sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ctop ``` #### OS X ```bash brew install ctop ``` or ```bash sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/ctop https://github.com/bcicen/ctop/releases/download/v0.7.2/ctop-0.7.2-darwin-amd64 sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ctop ``` #### Docker ```bash docker run --rm -ti \ --name=ctop \ --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \ quay.io/vektorlab/ctop:latest ``` `ctop` is also available for Arch in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ctop-bin/) ## Building Build steps can be found [here][build]. ## Usage `ctop` requires no arguments and uses Docker host variables by default. See [connectors][connectors] for further configuration options. ### Config file While running, use `S` to save the current filters, sort field, and other options to a default config path. These settings will be loaded and applied the next time `ctop` is started. ### Options Option | Description --- | --- -a | show active containers only -f \ | set an initial filter string -h | display help dialog -i | invert default colors -r | reverse container sort order -s | select initial container sort field -scale-cpu | show cpu as % of system total -v | output version information and exit -shell | specify shell (default: sh) ### Keybindings Key | Action --- | --- \ | Open container menu a | Toggle display of all (running and non-running) containers f | Filter displayed containers (`esc` to clear when open) H | Toggle ctop header h | Open help dialog s | Select container sort field r | Reverse container sort order o | Open single view l | View container logs (`t` to toggle timestamp when open) e | Exec Shell S | Save current configuration to file q | Quit ctop [build]: _docs/build.md [connectors]: _docs/connectors.md [single_view]: _docs/single.md [release]: https://img.shields.io/github/release/bcicen/ctop.svg "ctop" [homebrew]: https://img.shields.io/homebrew/v/ctop.svg "ctop"
