## What it is
docui is a terminal user interface (TUI) client for Docker written in Go, allowing users to manage images, containers, volumes, and networks from the terminal. The project is no longer maintained and recommends using lazydocker instead.

## Use cases
- manage docker containers from the terminal
- search and pull docker images with a tui
- inspect docker images and containers interactively
- start stop and kill containers without typing docker commands
- create and remove docker volumes via a terminal ui
- export and commit containers from a tui

## When to choose
- you want a keyboard-driven terminal interface for docker on mac or linux
- you need a lightweight alternative to docker desktop's gui
- you're already using it and don't need new features

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - use lazydocker instead
- you need windows support
- you need docker features beyond images, containers, volumes, and networks

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, developer-tools, container-runtime
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: docker, tui, terminal-ui, container-management, gocui, deprecated, containers, devops, command-line, macos, linux
