Glances is a system monitor with a ton of features, including docker processes.
I have started using portainer to look at running docker processes, its a great heavy-weight docker process monitor. glances works as a great lightweight monitor to just give you the essentials, ( Name, Status, CPU%, MEM, /MAX, IOR/s, IOW/s, Rx/s, Tx/s, Command)
install
You will need to install glances to use the glances webui. We can still use
pipx
to manage our virtual environment for us so that we do not need to do so
manually or run the risk of globally installed package dependency hell.
bash
pipx install glances pipx inject glances "glances[docker]"
You will be presented with this success message.
bash
injected package glances into venv glances
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
results
Now running glances will also show information about your running docker containers.
