In the realm of software development, the proficiency to visualize and analyze Docker data is critical for achieving efficient and precise applications. However, working with intricate data sets and code can often be laborious and time consuming, particularly when attempting to grasp how disparate constituents of a specific system interact with one another. This is where visualizer tools prove to be invaluable assets, as they enable developers to visually map out their code and data, providing an accurate representation of their system as a whole. This allows developers to identify patterns, troubleshoot issues, and pursue enhancements in the form of refactoring improvements. In particular, the presence of a visualizer tool on their local machine can help expedite and facilitate the optimization of the development process.
What is the solution?
With full adoption of Typescript, massive improvements to run time, debugging and refactoring to enable the viewing of multiple logs, and a complete overhaul of the UI and website, our goal was to ensure that the codebase is maintainable, scalable, and able to meet the needs of future engineers. Docketeer v. 11.0 is here for developers looking for a comprehensive solution to visualize and track their Docker data!
Full conversion to Typescript!
Yes, you heard that right! We are proud to announce that the entire codebase of Docketeer has been converted to functional and accurate Typescript, marking the end of the heavy use of “any” type variables from previous versions. With this upgrade, we’ve improved code quality with static type systems and error handling during compile time. We’ve enhanced code navigation and refactoring, with improved productivity in the form of type definitions. And lastly, we’ve increased the adoption of best practices in regards to documentation and readability, allowing a seamless interaction between the code and the developer.
Goodbye Webpack, hello Vite!
Why wait several minutes for your development build and compose time? We’ve replaced Webpack with Vite 4.2.1, and implemented hot module replacement. The build time has seen massive improvements, with an increase in speed of up to 200% quick compile time. Compose up time has improved from 1 minute and 20 seconds to 35 seconds, and we’ve removed the need to build images, saving an additional 10 minutes! Vite now has a simple configuration setup compared to Webpack, which lessens the strain for a developer tackling the codebase. The bundle sizes are smaller and loading times have substantially been improved, ultimately allowing for increased scalability.

Enhancements to Docketeer XI — Bug Fixes and Dev Container Integration |
Docketeer is an essential tool for any development team. Initially, there was a bug within the code affecting the log viewing functionality. Our team worked tirelessly to identify the root cause of the issue and implement a comprehensive fix that not only resolved the problem but also enhanced the application’s monitoring and debugging capabilities. As part of our commitment to streamlining the development workflow, we also added a developer container to Docketeer, allowing for seamless collaboration and sharing of application code across multiple platforms. By incorporating hot module reloading, there’s no longer a continuous requirement to rebuild and initiate the system. The introduction of the dev container has significantly improved our development process and enabled us to work more efficiently, thereby delivering high-quality software in a timely manner. Lastly, JWT authentication allows administrator and non-administrator privileges.
The future of Docketeer!
We’ve modernized the look and feel of Docketeer with CSS modules, resulting in a more visually engaging and user-friendly interface. The redesign has simplified navigation while enhancing user intuition; ultimately retaining the contemporary feel of modern day design elements and color schemes. Our containers, component renders and state change are all functionally intact and displayed accurately each time. Most importantly, we’ve squashed some bugs in the process, allowing the developer to truly focus more intently on the task at hand!
