## What it is
Dockly is an immersive terminal UI (built with Node.js and blessed) for managing Docker containers, images, and Swarm services. It connects to a local or remote Docker daemon and provides log streaming, container inspection, and shell access without remembering Docker CLI flags.

## Use cases
- manage docker containers from the terminal
- view logs of all running containers in one dashboard
- open a bash shell into a running container without typing docker commands
- toggle between local containers and docker swarm services
- connect to a remote docker daemon over ssh or tcp
- filter the container list by name or status

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a TUI dashboard for Docker
- you want quick log streaming and shell access to containers
- you manage Docker Swarm services alongside local containers
- you need to connect to local or remote Docker daemons with custom socket/host options

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI for Docker with image building and volume management
- you prefer Kubernetes over Docker Swarm
- you need orchestration features beyond monitoring and basic container actions
- you want a web-based dashboard shareable across a team
