Feature Request: Make columns selectable

Open leipert opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Hey, great tool and great work 👍 Please see this issue as constructive critisicm, It also may relate to #14. I just took this screenshot:

And I have the following "problems" with it (and a solution for all of them below):

  1. Problem: We use a custom registry, a lot of the name gets cut down to ...

    Potential Solution: Let the user specify a regex (or string) which could be replaced: docker-registry.example.org/example-app:feature_branch ➡️ deo/example-app:feature_branch

  2. Problem: The health status is invisible most of the times

    Potential Solution: Replace Up with an arrow up ⬆️ and more importantly, convert the human readable times to shorter ones, e.g. Up 16 minutes ➡️ ↑ 16m, Exited (137) Less than a second ago➡️ Exited (137) < 1s ago and Up About a minute (health: starting) ➡️ ↑~1m (starting)

  3. Problem: We do use docker-compose. Unless I am not debugging docker-compose, I do not care about the Command and Ports. Not showing them would give me a lot of space and less cluttered UI.

The potential solutions for 1. and 2. can probably ignored if shown columns are selectable.

Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated :)

My original intention with the container screen (and actually the idea that got dry started), it was just to show the information that the Docker CLI shows but without having to type on a terminal docker ps every 5s. While it is not different than the Docker CLI, as you say that sometimes this results in information being cluttered.

Making columns selectable is not very hard but it is much more useful with #49 in place. Anyway I will give it a try.

Regarding your proposal, I am not sure I have understood number 1. Number 2 and number 3 (altough I will limit the change for now to the Command column) sound good to me.

Again, thanks for your input.
