- Testing: 100% unit test coverage for implemented features
- Documentation: Extensive documentation and help systems
Gaps
- Orchestration: No Swarm or Kubernetes support
- Registry: No registry authentication/management
- Advanced Build: No BuildKit or multi-platform builds
- Plugins: No plugin management
Overall Coverage Score
DCK covers approximately 75% of common Docker CLI functionality, focusing on:
- ✅ Local Docker management (90% coverage)
- ✅ Development workflows (85% coverage)
- ✅ Container operations (85% coverage)
- ❌ Enterprise features (10% coverage)
- ❌ Orchestration (0% coverage)
Recommendations for Full Coverage
High Priority (Most Used Features)
- Container create command
- Registry login/logout
- Image commit
- Container rename/update
Medium Priority (Advanced Features)
- BuildKit integration
- Multi-platform builds
- Docker contexts
- Registry search
Low Priority (Enterprise/Special Features)
- Swarm mode
- Plugin management
- Docker trust/signing
- Stack management
Conclusion
DCK provides excellent coverage (85%+) for:
- Daily Docker operations
- Development workflows
- Container management
- Resource analysis
- Safety and testing
It lacks coverage for:
- Enterprise orchestration
- Advanced build features
- Registry management
- Cloud/remote Docker
For a local development tool, DCK achieves excellent functional coverage of the most commonly used Docker features while adding valuable safety and search capabilities not found in the standard Docker CLI.
