Docker Manager helps you

A self-hosted web interface for your Docker servers. Containers, Compose stacks, HTTPS, DNS, databases, monitoring and security scanning, in one container, without subscriptions or feature gates.

See your whole server at a glance

Everything Docker can do, laid out in plain pages: what's running, what changed, what needs attention, and the button to fix it.

The overview of a Docker host: containers, stacks, images and recent activity.

Everything a Docker server needs

The tools you'd otherwise set up one by one, already connected to each other. Publish a container and it gets its certificate and its DNS record, and with observability on, its logs and metrics show up in Grafana.

Built for homelabs, developers and small teams

  • One container, everything included

    Containers, stacks, ingress, DNS, databases, observability, a registry and scanning. No separate tools to wire together.

  • Free, with no feature gates

    MIT licensed and developed in the open. No subscriptions, no licence fees and no paid tier.

  • Changes you can take back

    Edits keep volumes and put the original back if the new container doesn't start. Every change is recorded, with one-click undo.

  • Ready for a team

    Users with roles and per-host permissions, an audit log, email alerts, and sign-in pages in front of your apps.

Up and running in a minute

Save this as docker-compose.yml on your server and run docker compose up -d. Then open port 8080 and sign in as admin with the password printed bydocker logs docker-manager.

  1. Start it

    Run one container with access to Docker. The host it runs on is added automatically.

  2. Sign in

    Sign in as admin with the password from the container logs, then choose your own.

  3. Add your apps

    Start from a template, paste a compose file, import what's already running, or connect a git repository.

Or describe it all in one file

Hosts, users, containers, stacks, ingress routes, DNS zones, databases, rollouts and pipelines can all live in one YAML file. Preview the changes, apply them, and keep the file in git. Think of it as CloudFormation or Terraform for your Docker server.

Docker Manager puts back anything the file manages if it's removed by other means, and locks it in the interface so nobody changes it by hand.
