This reminds me of k9s, particularly the UI and full functionality. I use dockge https://github.com/louislam/dockge for managing stacks on a home server. Isaiah feels very admin oriented, or perhaps developer friendly for that full docker experience via the web.

I only had a brief play but I couldn't see how to deploy a new container. That would make this a companion tool alongside something like Dockge, portainer etc.

I'll buy the hard-to-type part, but I don't have any particular qualms about using software named after religious figures. For context, I'm atheopagan.

That provided no context at all, lol (I legit laughed out loud). Like that's so far out of the common framework that any context provided is lost on most people (including me.)

I'm someone who often debates religion and appreciates someone who finds a philosophy that works for them, so this is no slight against your beliefs. I just find it funny that it was used to provide 'context'.

Thanks for the feedback!

To deploy a new container, you have two options :

- From an image (in the "Images" tab), you can open the menu, and run the image as is (or press "r"). You will be prompted for a container's name, and it will be created.

- You can press "C" (for Create stack), fill in a docker-compose.yml file content, and confirm. This will create a stack from your file!

Let me know if I can help!

For managing Docker installs another option could be portainer. Their community edition is open source https://docs.portainer.io/v/2.20/start/install-ce/server/doc...

Portainer is mentioned by the author in the README:

“What spurred me to build Isaiah in the first place is a bunch of comments on the Reddit self-hosted community, stating that Portainer and other available solutions were too heavy or hard to use.”

I am curious why this name was chosen. Is there any connection between Isaiah and whales? Feels somewhat TempleOS-y.

Alright! I'll copy-paste an explanation I gave prior on Reddit. I legit had no idea this would spark so many conversations hahaha.

"I like to use a pen name generator, and use the generated name for my projects. It makes it easier for me to name things, rather than having to come up with new naming ideas for every new project. And also, I like the idea that every project has a person's name, as if, by using the project, you're getting the help of the person named X (X = Isaiah, Erin, Osmond, any other project I have published)."

I really had never thought of the religious aspect of Isaiah, I just went with a generated pen name I liked.
