This is my university thesis project — a native Linux desktop app for

managing Docker and Podman containers, built with Python and PyQt5.

I'm sharing it here because I want real-world feedback before I finalize

the work. Bug reports, suggestions — all of it is genuinely

appreciated. If something breaks on your setup, I want to know.

What it does

Container lifecycle management (start, stop, pause, restart, remove)

Image operations: pull with live progress, tag, push, run with custom params

Volume and network management

Docker Compose support (docker compose / podman compose / podman-compose)

Docker Swarm

Real-time CPU, RAM and disk I/O graphs

Embedded terminal emulator — full PTY-backed VT100/XTERM shell inside the app, TUI apps like htop, vim, nano work correctly

Runtime Docker ↔ Podman backend switch without restarting

Linux first

The app is developed and tested on Linux.…
