# Docker status

> List Docker containers and images, tail logs, and check daemon health from the terminal.

Quick Docker visibility without memorizing `docker ps` flags.

## Natural language

```bash theme={null}
arka show docker containers
arka docker logs for api
arka list docker images
arka docker health
```

## CLI commands

| Command | Description |
| - | - |
| `docker_status ps` | Running containers with status and ports |
| `docker_status images` | Local images with size and age |
| `docker_status logs <container> [--tail N]` | Tail container logs (default 50 lines) |
| `docker_status health` | Daemon health summary |

Requires the `docker` CLI. Start Docker Desktop (or the daemon) before running checks.
