Displays container logs in VS Code's integrated terminal with real-time streaming, allowing developers to view stdout/stderr output from running containers without opening separate terminal windows. The extension supports log filtering by container, timestamp-based log retrieval, and automatic log tail updates as new output is generated. Logs are fetched via the Docker daemon's logs API with configurable tail length and follow mode.
Unique: Streams container logs directly into VS Code's integrated terminal using the Docker daemon's logs API with follow mode, eliminating need to open separate terminal windows. Provides one-click log access from the container explorer sidebar with configurable tail length.
vs alternatives: More integrated than docker logs CLI because logs appear in VS Code's terminal with editor context preserved; faster than Docker Desktop UI because log viewing is accessible via sidebar without mouse navigation.
Enables opening an interactive shell (bash, sh, or cmd) inside a running container directly from VS Code, allowing developers to execute commands and debug containerized applications without opening separate terminal windows. The extension uses 'docker exec' to spawn a shell session, attaches it to VS Code's integrated terminal with full TTY support, and maintains the session until explicitly closed.
Unique: Integrates docker exec shell sessions into VS Code's integrated terminal with full TTY support, providing interactive debugging without spawning separate terminal windows. One-click shell access from the container explorer sidebar with automatic shell detection.
vs alternatives: More convenient than docker exec CLI because shell sessions are accessible via sidebar without typing commands; more integrated than Docker Desktop because shell sessions appear in VS Code's terminal with editor context preserved.
Displays detailed metadata for Docker images including layers, environment variables, exposed ports, volumes, entry points, and build history. The extension queries image metadata via the Docker daemon's inspect API and presents it in a structured format within VS Code, allowing developers to understand image composition without running containers or using docker inspect commands.
Unique: Presents Docker image metadata in VS Code's UI using the daemon's inspect API, providing structured visualization of layers, environment variables, and configuration without requiring docker inspect command knowledge. Integrates image inspection into the sidebar explorer for one-click access.
vs alternatives: More user-friendly than docker inspect CLI because metadata is presented in a structured VS Code UI rather than raw JSON; faster than Docker Desktop UI because inspection is accessible via sidebar without navigation.
