Consider 'ctop' rename

I just installed some python script with the same name as was thoroughly confused for a few minutes by what I saw when I ran ctop.

dockertop, containertop, top-but-for-docker, etc - probably a non-issue but I'm going to post this here for discussion.

Agree, just did sudo apt install ctop on my Ubuntu machine to realize I installed another tool 😭

As I run this in Docker, I don't mind :-p

On my linux i create a alias to dtop like docker top:

docker run -ti --name ctop --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock quay.io/vektorlab/ctop:latest

top-but-for-docker

I vote for this one.

Yeah, it's not so much that the name is already taken, but that the other ctop is already included in Ubuntu (and possibly other distributions) repositories. I'm sure we're not the only ones who did apt intall ctop upon hearing of this tool and were completely confused.

Isn't ctop for all types of containers? Or only for docker?

I suggest ccTop. You know... like the band. 🤣

Currently, I've add ctop to my apt repo with the name docker-ctop. https://packages.azlux.fr/

The CLI command stay the same, ctop.
