I built a Docker/Podman desktop GUI for my thesis — honest feedback welcome

Short summary

A student built a native Linux desktop GUI for Docker/Podman container management with lifecycle operations, image handling, real-time monitoring, and embedded terminal emulator. The project is open-source on GitHub; the author seeks feedback on code structure, edge cases, and distro compatibility before finalizing the thesis.

  • •Full-featured Docker/Podman GUI supporting container lifecycle, image ops, volumes, networks, Compose, and Swarm
  • •Includes real-time resource graphs and embedded PTY-backed terminal emulator for TUI apps like htop and vim
  • •Early-stage thesis project requesting community feedback on architecture, compatibility, and missing edge cases
