docker - Enhanced Docker Management

The docker module provides an enhanced set of tools for Docker, offering mirror acceleration for faster image pulls, structured data exports (JSON/CSV), and interactive TUI explorers.

When to Activate

• When pulling images from Docker Hub or other registries (automatically uses mirrors).
• When exporting container, image, or volume lists to JSON/CSV for scripting.
• When performing interactive analysis of running containers using the app or fz modes.
• When managing Docker configurations and mirror registry settings.

Core Principles & Rules

• Acceleration: Transparently applies mirrors to speed up image pulls in specific regions.
• Structured Data: Prioritize --json or --csv for any subcommand when results are for automation.
• TUI Mode: Use ps --app or fz for a visual Docker dashboard experience.

Patterns & Examples

Interactive Dashboard

# Open an interactive TUI to manage running containers
x docker ps --app

Mirror Configuration

# Set up Docker to use an optimized mirror registry
x docker mirror use ustc

Export Image List

# Get all local images as a JSON array
x docker images --json

Checklist

• Confirm if mirror acceleration is needed for image tasks.
• Verify the desired output format (Human-readable, JSON, CSV).
• Ensure Docker daemon is running on the host.
