⁠Distroless htop Docker Image

A minimal, secure Docker image for running htop in containers with extremely small footprint.

⁠Features

• Distroless: Contains only htop and its minimal dependencies - no shell, package manager, or unnecessary binaries
• Tiny: Final image is a fraction of the size of typical htop containers
• Secure: Minimal attack surface with no unnecessary components
• Kubernetes-Ready: Custom entrypoint ensures proper functioning with kubectl

⁠Usage

# Run htop in the current terminal
docker run --rm -it --pid=host felixbuenemann/htop

# Monitor a specific container
docker run --rm -it --pid=container:target_container_name felixbuenemann/htop

# Use with kubectl to monitor a specific node
kubectl run htop --rm -it --image=felixbuenemann/htop --privileged --overrides='{"spec":{"hostPID":true,"nodeSelector":{"kubernetes.io/hostname":"your-node-name"}}}'
