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)

You will need to install glances to use the glances webui. We can still use [38;2;167;192;128mpipx[0m to manage our [4m[38;2;127;187;179mvirtual environment[0m <[38;2;122;132;120m/virtual-environment/[0m> for us so that we do not need to do so manually or run the risk of globally installed package dependency hell.

  pipx install glances
  pipx inject glances "glances[docker]"

You will be presented with this success message.

Now running glances will also show information about your running docker containers.
