Research direction
Investigate how ptop gathers system information (likely from /proc or psutil) and why it fails inside Docker. Check if the Docker container lacks necessary permissions or mounts for /proc. Look at the chart rendering code to see if it expects specific data formats. Review any existing comments or linked issues for clues.
