This application is designed for managing Docker containers through SSH connections to Linux or MacOS machines. Users can add multiple servers and carry out a variety of tasks related to Docker management directly from their mobile devices. The application streamlines operations such as listing, creating, starting, stopping, restarting, and removing containers, all while providing detailed insights into resource usage and live logs. Furthermore, users can access the shell of any container, manage images by listing, inspecting, building, searching, and pulling images from both public and private registries, as well as removing multiple images at once.
One of the key features of the application is that it securely stores server information only on the user's phone. This means that all data will be erased if the app is uninstalled, enhancing privacy and security. The application does not require the Docker daemon or API to be enabled for its operations, allowing it to connect safely via SSH. It is recommended to keep unnecessary ports closed on the server to minimize security vulnerabilities, which is a crucial consideration for users concerned about their server's security.
The application comes with a helpful FAQ section that addresses common queries about Docker management, especially for non-root users who need to execute Docker commands without sudo. It provides explicit instructions for adding users to the Docker group, which is necessary for access, along with guidance on how to configure connections to systems like Docker Desktop on MacOS and Synology and QNAP servers. This makes it user-friendly for individuals who may not be seasoned in Docker configuration.
To connect to different Docker setups on various operating systems, the app necessitates specific adjustments in settings. For instance, users connecting to Docker Desktop on MacOS need to modify the application’s server configuration to the correct Docker path while ensuring remote login is enabled. Similarly, detailed instructions are provided for users of Synology and QNAP servers, which require different configurations based on the respective Docker installation paths.
Should users encounter any issues or bugs while using the application, they are encouraged to report these by sending an email to the designated support address. This openness to user feedback and the provision of an email contact for bug reporting demonstrates a commitment to improving application functionality and enhancing user experience in managing Docker containers efficiently from a mobile device.
