This is a study about Electron, using docker commands to list and show your running images

Electron Docker Manager

This application is a simple Electron-based Docker manager that allows users to:

• List Docker containers, including their networks and IP addresses.
• Add container network entries to the /etc/hosts file for easier access.
• List all available Docker images.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed.
• Docker must be installed and running on your system.
• You need permission to modify /etc/hosts. For this, you may need to run the application with elevated privileges.

Setup

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Open a terminal in the project directory.

3. Run the following command to install dependencies:

   npm install

Usage

1. Start the Electron application by running:

   npm start

2. Once the app opens, you can:

   • View all Docker containers and their network information.
   • Add entries to your /etc/hosts file for easier access to Docker container IPs by hostname.
   • List all Docker images available on your system.

Important Notes

• Modifying /etc/hosts: Make sure to run the application with the necessary permissions to modify the /etc/hosts file.
• Docker Permissions: Ensure your user has the correct permissions to interact with Docker, or use sudo if needed.

Dependencies

This project uses the following npm packages:

• electron: For building the desktop application.
• dockerode: For Docker API interaction.
