Here is a list of several Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) available to visualize your Docker container management:
Docker Desktop

Docker Desktop is an easy-to-install free application provided by the developers of Docker. We can install it on Mac, Linux, and Windows operating systems. However, larger enterprises with more than 250 employees need to purchase a paid subscription. The benefit of using Docker Desktop is, it offers a simple interface that let users manage containers, applications, and images on their local PC without touching the command line. Historically, it was only available for Windows and macOS but now we can install and have the benefits of it even on Linux distros such as Ubuntu Linux. It includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Buildx, Docker Compose, Docker Content Trust, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper.
Portainer
Portainer community edition is the open-source GUI for Docker which is extremely light in weight, just a few Kbs. The best thing, it is cross-platform and supports Windows 10/8/7, Linux, and macOS for installation. The administration of individual Docker Engines is usually carried out using the Docker CLI when using the Community Edition and Portainer provides it with a free, intuitive, and easy-to-deploy Docker GUI that enables the management of containers, volumes, and more.
DockStation
DockStation is a developer-centric application for managing projects based on Docker. Instead of lots of CLI commands you can monitor, configure, and manage services and containers while using just a GUI.
Shipyard
Shipyard provides an interface to your containers, images, and Docker instances. Start the sample application and then click on the WordPress container. You'll see details about the container, plus buttons to stop, start, destroy, and debug the container.
Rancher
Rancher is a tool that takes what's possible with a Docker GUI further and is more useful for production clusters. Reflecting this focus on production, Rancher is designed to work on Linux machines, so to test locally you might need to install onto a Virtual Machine. Once you're set up, then Rancher offers similar features to other web-based GUIs but offers interface elements to add the extra features that Rancher offers.
