Docktor

Docktor is a Java 21 CLI prototype for diagnosing and eventually managing a local Docker development VM on macOS through Lima and QEMU.

Docktor means Docker + Doctor.

Commands

docktor doctor
docktor status
docktor docker check

The following commands are wired as first-milestone placeholders:

docktor start
docktor stop
docktor ssh

Build

gradle test
gradle installDist

After installDist, the CLI script is generated at:

build/install/docktor/bin/docktor

Scope

The first milestone implements diagnostics only. VM creation, Docker Engine provisioning inside the VM, and Docker context wiring are represented by TODO service methods so the command structure and service boundaries are ready for later implementation.
