MacOS menu bar that shows running Docker containers and quick actions.

I don't like Docker Desktop so I use colima instead. But I still want to quickly see how many containers I have running. So this is for that.

• Shows count of running containers in the menu bar
• Per-container submenu with:
  • Running time display
  • Mounts (click to open bind mounts in Finder)
  • Open Logs: opens iTerm2 or Terminal window and runs docker logs -f <container>
  • Stop: stops the container
• Auto-refresh every 5 seconds

• macOS
• Docker CLI available on PATH
• Python 3.12+

Activate your virtualenv and run:

python dok.py

This is a bit experimental.. Use at your own risk..

Install build dependencies:

uv sync --all-extras

Build the app:

python setup.py py2app -A

This creates dist/dok.app

I could not get a full standalone build to work. Building with alias mode (-A flag) works, but the app package will contain symlinks to the source files and venv, so if you move or delete the source dir everything breaks.
