Switching projects

[dsc8x]

Hey, first of all: Awesome project, many thanks for that! ❤️

I have one question: Is it possible to switch projects? For me only the last project that I started using docker-compose is shown and I am unable to figure out how to switch to other running projects 🤔

I think it's showing this if docker compose shows information in your current dir.
So your current dir or one of it's parents might have a docker compose file that docker compose detects and lazy docker is showing that.

If that's not the case it might be that you have found a bug :)

If I run those two commands:

docker-compose up -p cpm-mcr
docker-compose up -p cpm-ms

Then lazydocker will only show me the containers created in the second project, which is exactly the cpm-ms scenario from the screenshot above.

The above example is pretty simplified, of course the different projects in real life have different env vars and configurations :)

We're having this issue as well, when copying an existing docker-compose project as template for a new project, running lazydocker in that new project shows the original project images and containers.

This is turning into a quite annoying issue, I currently have 2 folders that I cannot use at the same time due to Lazydocker not being able to differentiate between them. When running a container in the one folder, and moving to the other it'll briefly show the other folder its name, but then switch it to the former.

Same here

This seems to be caused by having running compose projects that have containers with exactly the same name. Seems the project prefix isn't taken into account.

btw. seems this is a duplicate of #122

Having the same issue

We might need to rework how projects are handled or at least provide a way to change to recently opened projects

Please fix this issue! I usually run multiple docker-compose-based projects on the same machine.
I would be absolutely great if lazydocker could be "project-aware" just like docker-compose.
Right now, while the "Project" does show the correct "COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME", the monitored services are only limited to the last started project.

This would be awesome. Glad to help if possible

I cloned and installed @jotavemonte's version https://github.com/jotavemonte/lazydocker and it works pretty well for me! #633

@russ if you like his version take a look at mine https://github.com/peauc/lazydocker-ng

As of #774 you can now switch projects (v0.25.0). Anybody who's tried @peauc 's approach let me know how they compare.
