Yup! And it's fantastic! Plays nice with docker-compose. Has a magit-
style hydra interface. Displays images and containers in tables with
dired-like interface so you can halt or login etc with a key press.

In sum: it's awesome. Never tried docker desktop because why would I?
I haven't tried git desktop either for the same reason

Magit has a transient interface :) transient and hydra are similar but
different packages

Yes!  Just discovered docker.el a few months back and it's a fantastic
package for docker

Sadly it doesn’t really support podman, which I’ve completely switched
over to now.

I would suggest logging an issue regarding that.

The last issues on said topic were quite a while ago.

It confused me too :)

docker.el actually uses transient and not hydra. It's an awesome
package and I'm pretty sure better than docker desktop as it's well
integrated in Emacs and you can easily open a eshell/vterm/dired/etc
to your running container.

Yeah I saw some wip branch, but it seems nothing much happened since
then. Not sure if there’s any point in reviving that topic. I’m not in
a place to implement anything myself unfortunately.

This was probably me and is on hold since then because I forgot about
it.
