About

Whaler provides basic functionality for managing Docker containers. The app can start and stop both standalone containers and docker-compose applications. Also, it supports viewing container logs.

The solution is perfect for those who are looking for a simple tool to perform some basic actions. For the app to run correctly, make sure that Docker is installed on your system.
