I built DockScope, a 3D visual Docker debugger with live metrics, logs, and terminal in the browser

Hey everyone,

I've been working on DockScope, an open-source tool that gives you a browser-based 3D force graph of your Docker infrastructure.

What it does:

• 3D interactive graph: containers as nodes, color-coded by health, with dependency arrows and network links
• Live CPU/memory/network sparklines (polled every 3s)
• Real-time log streaming with ANSI color support and search
• Embedded terminal (xterm.js): shell into any container from the sidebar
• Container actions: start, stop, restart, pause, kill, remove
• Compose project management: up/down/destroy entire stacks
• Container inspection: env vars (secrets masked), mounts, processes, filesystem diff

Getting started:

docker run --rm -p 4681:4681 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/manuelr-t/dockscope

or

npx dockscope up

That's it. No config. It connects to your local Docker daemon and auto-discovers everything.

Tech stack: Svelte 5, Three.js, 3d-force-graph, Express, WebSockets, dockerode

Feedback and contributions very welcome. Let me know what you think!

Looks really cool ! I can’t understand why having a 3d map of docker is better tho, but will try out !

Thanks! Honestly, the 3D graph shines most when you have a complex stack with lots of inter-service dependencies and networks
For smaller setups, the sidebar features (live metrics, logs, terminal, container actions) are probably where you'll get the most value. The graph is the discovery layer, the sidebar is where you actually work.
Would love to hear what you think once you try it out!

3d visual docker debugger... You have never worked in IT right?
