Docker Desktop Container view

Docker Desktop
1

Hello.

[Part 1]
I am just wondering why my Docker Desktop view suddenly changed TO THIS:

1
11520×199 22.5 KB

May I know if there’s a way I can revert the CONTAINERS View to its original view wherein the columns included are Name, Image, Status, Port, CPU, Last started.

I already tried exploring the settings but to no avail.

I accessed the Manage columns but STILL CANNOT revert to original view.

[To be continued]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is the original view:

I wanted to revert to this view wherein in this Container tab View, the Status shows Running (3/3). And this one is a better view having the columns Name, Image, Status, Port(s), CPU, Last Started.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

On which operating system? Using Docker Desktop 4.35.1 I could not reproduce the view you have. So no container id among the columns

I have the same - and I want it back (the old-good view)

Hello. It’s on Windows operating system. Version is 4.33.1.

Oh :slightly_frowning_face:

Did you happen to click on any button before it shifted to that view? Because I do not remember clicking on anything that might change the view :frowning: Or could it be caused by an update?

I also want the good old view.

Do you also have Docker Desktop v4.33.1?

Where did you both download the installer?

here: https://www.docker.com/

I was just wondering why all of a sudden it changed its view. I’ve been having the old good view for the longest time then it suddenly changed to this. :frowning:

Could, but you can find it out if you update now to a newer version. For example the latest I used and the UI was working normally.

These are what I see as possible causes:

  • There is an option which I could not find and you accidentally enabled it, but since it was not intentional, you don’t remember… But since you are not the only person with this, i find it unlikely that the same accident happened at the same time to different people.
  • There was a bug which I didn’t see, because I never used that version or I didn’t notice and it is gone now.
  • There was a wrong installer for a small period of time and you could download that. Then you can reinstall it by downloading the same version again or the any available recent version.
  • Someone at Docker accidentally enabled a preview feature to you which I didn’t havent heard about. But I don’t think that could be the case, as preview features would not be added without downloading a preview installer. Adding a new column is not something that Docker Desktop would just download without updating.
  • Maybe there is a keyboard shortcut that can enable a hidden column which was kept hidden intentionally. I don’t see why a column like that would be added.

If you see the same issue with the latest (v4.35.1) Docker Desktop, I can try to ask someone.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I upgraded to v4.35.1, but still the same issue. :frowning: Thank you so much for the help. I really needed the good old view. :frowning:

So you still see the container id column. I will ask someone about this and get back if I have more information. Until that you can also share it on GitHub:

It looks like the 2nd post shows a compose file deployment: it shows the project name csbk, which consists of three services: was ,mq and a 3rd the screenshot does not show.

While the first post looks like a list of standalone containers.

update: i tested it on Docker Desktop for Windows 4.35.1:

image
image2306×854 86.9 KB

While the first entry “whoami” is created using the command docker run -ti --rm --name whoami traefik/whoami, the lines below are the docker compose project test, deployed by docker compose up for this compose file:

services:
    whoami1:
        image: "traefik/whoami"
    whoami2:
        image: "traefik/whoami"

The only difference is how the containers are created.

Update2: Seems I should have read the complete post and not just compare the screenshots…
What Docker Desktop version is the first screenshot made with? I can’t even select “container id” as column, it is only shown underneath the image name.

13

Yes, I still see the container ID column. Thank you so much for your help!

14

hello. first and second screenshot are both v4.33.1. the change of view was SUDDEN, did not change anything. that’s why I was really wondering what happened.

i upgraded now to 4.35.1, but still having the same view :frowning:

15

When you open Docker Desktop, do you also log in? Or do you see the column even when logged out?

16

In the meantime I got the confirmation that there is a new UI that Docker is rolling out currently and the container ID column is part of that UI which we will all get eventually. So it seems I was wrong when I thought new features would come only with a new installer. Some features can be enabled for some users and this UI change is that kind of feature.

If you really think that column should not be there and you can’t hid it, then I still recommend reporting it on GitHub using the link I shared.

17

oh so this is a new UI. thank you so much for being so responsive. this being the new UI, means that we cannot revert to the original UI/view?

18

It looks like that, yes. But it is rolled out this way so users have time to react while not everyone is affected. Since many columns are optional, you could ask to make it optional.
