ADM

ADM is a contained terminal dashboard for managing Docker containers on an AWS host.

Type adm or ADM and it opens the live console. No browser. No web service.

git clone https://github.com/yetval/ADM.git
cd ADM
sudo ./scripts/install-aws.sh

The installer creates an isolated Python environment at /opt/adm, installs adm into it, and links adm and ADM into /usr/local/bin.

If Docker group permissions were changed during install, log out and back in before running ADM as your normal user. On a fresh EC2 install, this is usually required. You can also run newgrp docker in the current shell.

npm install -g awsdockermanager
adm

The npm package installs the adm and ADM commands. It requires Python 3.10+ and Docker on the host.

Upgrade an existing install:

ADM update

Open the live terminal console:

adm

Run direct commands:

adm status
adm list
adm start <container>
adm stop <container>
adm restart <container>
adm logs <container>
adm inspect <container>
adm images
adm volumes
adm networks
adm prune
adm console
ADM update

Inside the terminal console:

• / opens the command prompt.
• r refreshes immediately.
• j / k or arrow keys move through containers.
• s starts the selected container.
• x stops the selected container.
• e restarts the selected container.
• l shows logs for the selected container.
• i inspects the selected container.
• q quits.

ADM scans continuously every three seconds and highlights:

• Docker offline or unreachable.
• Containers that are down or exited.
• Non-zero container exit codes.
• Unhealthy Docker healthchecks.
• Restart loops.
• OOM kills.
• Docker state errors.
• High container memory usage.
• Recent log lines containing error, fatal, exception, traceback, panic, critical, permission denied, connection refused, or out-of-memory signals.
• Host CPU, memory, and disk pressure.

Run without installing:

python3 -m awsdockermanager.cli status
python3 -m awsdockermanager.cli

Run checks:

python3 -m compileall awsdockermanager tests
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

Install locally:

python3 -m pip install -e .
adm

ADM executes Docker operations as the current user. On AWS, run it as a trusted user with Docker permissions. Do not expose a shell running ADM to untrusted users.
