How do I install the latest lazydocker on Debian?

Add the deb-free.griffo.io repository once using the instructions above, then run: sudo apt install lazydocker. New releases arrive through the normal sudo apt upgrade.

Are the packages signed and how are they built?

Every package is signed with the repository's GPG key (EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256) and built from upstream releases in public GitHub packaging repositories that anyone can inspect.

What is lazydocker?

lazydocker is a simple terminal UI for both Docker and docker-compose created by Jesse Duffield (same author as lazygit). It provides a unified interface to manage your Docker environment, view logs, monitor metrics, and perform common operations without memorizing complex commands. With over 45k GitHub stars, it's the most popular Docker TUI available.

😤 Docker Pain Points Solved: Tired of juggling multiple terminal windows for different containers? Fed up with memorizing docker commands? Frustrated with tracking container states across services? lazydocker puts everything you need in one intuitive interface.

            🚀 Why Staying Current Matters: lazydocker is actively developed with frequent releases containing new Docker features support, performance improvements, and enhanced container management capabilities. The latest versions include better metrics visualization, improved log handling, and enhanced docker-compose integration.
        

⚡ Key Features of lazydocker

📊 Visual Overview

See the state of your entire Docker environment at a glance. Containers, images, volumes, and networks in one unified view.

📈 Real-time Metrics

ASCII graphs showing CPU, memory, and network usage. Customizable metrics to monitor exactly what you need for your containers.

📝 Log Management

View logs for containers and services with filtering, following, and search capabilities. No more juggling multiple terminal windows.

🔧 Container Operations

Start, stop, restart, remove, and rebuild containers with single keystrokes. Attach to containers for interactive debugging.

🗂️ Image Management

View image layers, ancestry, and disk usage. Prune unused images, containers, and volumes to reclaim disk space.

🐭 Mouse Support

Full mouse support for clicking, scrolling, and selecting. Keyboard shortcuts for power users, mouse for convenience.

            🆓 Free forever, patched immediately: Debian and Ubuntu freeze package versions when a release ships; this free mirror instead serves the newest release once it is at least 2 months old, with security fixes published immediately. Want every release within hours instead? That's the main repository at deb.griffo.io.
        

📦 Installation from deb-free.griffo.io

Step 1: Add Repository

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
                

install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update
                

sudo apt install extrepo
sudo extrepo enable griffo-free
sudo apt update
                

extrepo is Debian's own tool for external repositories: it writes the sources file and installs the signing key for you, after checking that key against signed metadata. This mirror is registered with it as griffo-free. Debian only (bookworm, trixie, forky, sid): extrepo publishes metadata for Debian suites only, so on Ubuntu use one of the other two tabs.

Step 2: Install lazydocker
