CLUSTER TERMINAL-DOCKER-CONTAINERS · 28 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-02-08
Terminal container management tools
This cluster comprises terminal-based and lightweight graphical tools for managing local container and virtual-machine environments, covering Docker, Podman, LXC/LXD, and systemd. The dated entries span from 2017 to 2026, with a noticeable increase in the number of new entries from 2024 onward. Among tracked products, colimui leads on traction with 2 stars, while others show minimal or no activity.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
