The Solution

Feature Request

It would be helpful to have a list view on the Docker management page, where each Docker container is displayed as a separate row instead of only using the current card-based layout.

Each row should include action buttons on the right for:

  • Viewing logs
  • Viewing container status and details
  • Opening a CLI/terminal inside the container

Current Problem

The current card layout has several limitations:

  • Each card displays too little information.
  • Cards take up a lot of space when managing many containers.
  • Card content is easily collapsed, making containers harder to find and manage.
  • Common management actions are not easily accessible in one place.

Suggested Solution

Add a list view that displays the following information for each container:

  • Container name
  • Image name and version
  • Current status
  • Port mappings
  • Start time
  • CPU and memory usage, if available
  • Action buttons for logs, status/details, and CLI access

If the existing card layout needs to remain available, a Card / List view switch could be added. It would also be useful to remember the user's last selected view.

Expected Benefits

A list view would display more containers and relevant information on a single screen. It would make it easier to check container status, view logs, and open a container terminal, improving the overall Docker management experience.

Additional Context

Portainer's container list can serve as a useful UI/UX reference for the proposed layout and container management actions.
