Docker Monitor for VS Code

Real-time GPU, CPU, and RAM monitoring with Docker container management — right in your VS Code sidebar.

Features

System Monitoring — CPU and RAM usage in the status bar and sidebar
GPU Monitoring — NVIDIA (nvidia-smi), AMD (rocm-smi), Apple Silicon (system_profiler)
Docker Containers — Live container list with CPU/RAM/VRAM stats, stop/kill actions
GPU Processes — Per-process VRAM usage, container mapping, kill from sidebar
Services Panel — Configurable service launcher with status indicators
WebView Dashboard — Detailed GPU/process visualization (Ctrl+Shift+P → "Open GPU Monitor")

Cross-Platform Support

Platform	CPU/RAM	GPU	Docker	Process→Container
Linux	/proc	nvidia-smi, rocm-smi	docker CLI	/proc/cgroup
macOS	sysctl, vm_stat	system_profiler	docker CLI	—
WSL2	/proc	nvidia-smi (passthrough)	docker CLI	/proc/cgroup

The extension gracefully degrades — no GPU? Shows system metrics only. No Docker? Shows GPU only.

Configuration

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`dockerMonitor.refreshInterval`	`10`	Sidebar refresh interval (seconds)
`dockerMonitor.webviewRefreshInterval`	`5`	WebView refresh interval (seconds)
`dockerMonitor.servicesConfigPath`	`.vscode/docker-services.json`	Path to services config
`dockerMonitor.autoDiscoverServices`	`true`	Auto-discover docker-compose services
`dockerMonitor.gpuMonitoring`	`true`	Enable GPU monitoring
`dockerMonitor.dockerBinary`	`""`	Custom docker binary path (auto-detected if empty)

Services Configuration

Create .vscode/docker-services.json in your workspace:

{
  "categories": [
    { "id": "db", "label": "DATABASES", "sortOrder": 0 },
    { "id": "app", "label": "APPLICATIONS", "sortOrder": 1 }
  ],
  "services": [
    {
      "id": "postgres",
      "label": "PostgreSQL",
      "category": "db",
      "dockerService": "postgres",
      "script": "scripts/run-postgres.sh",
      "description": "Database :5432"
    },
    {
      "id": "api",
      "label": "API Server",
      "category": "app",
      "composeName": "api",
      "description": "Backend API :8080"
    }
  ]
}

If no config file exists and autoDiscoverServices is enabled, the extension will find docker-compose*.yml files and list their services automatically.
