Top-like interface for container metrics
ctop
provides a concise and condensed overview of real-time metrics for multiple containers:
as well as an single container view for inspecting a specific container.
ctop
comes with built-in support for Docker and runC; connectors for other container and cluster systems are planned for future releases.

ctop
is also available for Arch in the AUR
Build steps can be found here.
ctop
requires no arguments and uses Docker host variables by default. See connectors for further configuration options.
While running, use S

is started.
