It's also possible to provide command line options for dockly to customize the docker connection

--containerFilters

This is a string that could be used to filter the shown containers; its format is in the x-www-form-urlencoded style and the filters you could apply are listed here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.37/#operation/ContainerList

Example: --containerFilters="name=test&status=running" to only show running container which name match test.

FAQ

1. Unsupported Node.js version

If you're getting the following error in your CLI:

root@neo:~# dockly
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/dockly/src/screen.js:36
constructor (utils = new Map()) {
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =
at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
at Module._compile (module.js:374:25)

Or this kind of error:

Trace: TypeError: Object.values is not a function                                                                                                            
    at screen.toggleMode (/home/vokiel/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.1/lib/node_modules/dockly/src/screen.js:149:35)
    at Screen.screen.key (/home/vokiel/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.1/lib/node_modules/dockly/src/screen.js:190:12)
    at Screen.EventEmitter._emit
    (/home/vokiel/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.1/lib/node_modules/dockly/node_modules/blessed/lib/events.js:98:20)

This is most likely because you're using an unsupported Node.js version. Dockly requires Node.js v7.6 and above
