# Docker / Podman Widget [![GitHub issues by-label](https://img.shields.io/github/issues-raw/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/docker)](https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/labels/docker) ![Twitter URL](https://img.shields.io/twitter/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fstreetturtle%2Fawesome-wm-widgets%2Fedit%2Fmaster%2Fdocker-widget) The widget allows to manage docker and podman containers, namely start/stop/pause/unpause:
## Customization It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters: | Name | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `icon` | `./docker-widget/icons/docker.svg` | Path to the icon | | `number_of_containers` | -1 | Number of last created containers to show | | `executable_name` | `docker` | Name of the executable to use, defaults to `docker` | | `max_widget_width` | 270 | Maximum width of the widget before the text breaks | The `executable_name` allows you to use `Podman` instead of docker. This works since `Podman` is compatible to `docker` in the sense that the syntax and command outputs are identical. ## Installation Clone the repo under **~/.config/awesome/** and add widget in **rc.lua**: ```lua local docker_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.docker-widget.docker") ... s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget { -- Right widgets layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal, ... -- default docker_widget(), -- customized docker_widget{ number_of_containers = 5 }, ```
