## What is Docker LifeTime?

This app is being depreciated and not being updated anymore. Please get the frequently updated/maintained version called Docker Management - https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/docker-management/id1583254724

Connect via ssh to your Linux/MacOS machine and manage your docker.

This application allows you to:
- add multiple servers
- list containers
- create containers
- start containers (multiple at once)
- stop containers (multiple at once)
- restart containers (multiple at once)
- remove containers (multiple at once)
- inspect containers
- view resource usage of containers
- view live logs of containers
- enter shell of containers
- list images
- build images
- search images
- pull images (also from private registries)
- remove images (multiple at once)
- inspect images
- connect through password or ssh key

Features
- server info is stored on phone only (the data is wiped out if app is removed)

NOTE
No docker daemon or docker api is required to be enabled for this app, simply connect via ssh. It is strongly recommended NOT to open unnecessary ports on your server (such as enabling docker daemon) as it can expose your server to more security threads.

Q/A
Q: Why I can not connect with non-root users?
A: The docker commands are executed by the app without "sudo" so you will need to add your non-root user to the docker group with the following command:
     sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
     sudo reboot

Q: How to connect to Docker Desktop on MacOS?
A: On MacOS, enable 'Remote Login' and if using non-root user, add user to the docker group.

Q: How to connect to Synology server?
A: If using non-root user, then add user to docker group on your server:
      sudo synogroup --add docker
      sudo synogroup --memberadd docker $USER
      sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock

Q: How to connect to QNAP server?
A: If non-root user, then add user to docker group on your server:
      sudo addgroup $USER administrators

### 5/5 — Great app works well simple

*2024-02-08*

Great app great dev works well

### 5/5 — Great Docker Management: Smooth Connectivity Now!

*2024-01-02*

This app is good for managing Docker apps on remote servers. After a year-long wait, the recent update has finally resolved the connectivity issue with Ubuntu servers, making it a breeze to access and monitor my Docker apps. The interface is user-friendly, and with this fix, it's become my go-to choice for seamless Docker management on the go. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Hi Dandymike, please get the updated version of the app as I have fixed the issue. Let me know if you are still having problems. Nevis

### 5/5 — Works well

*2023-08-21*

A+ features work well. Great with nas

### 1/5 — Works if you don't need SSH keys

*2023-07-17*

Works fine if you don't need SSH keys to log in.
There are absolutely no instructions on whereto place the private key in your phone so the app can access it. Have tried for months now and it never works.

Developer had zero interest in answering any questions about the app. Charges not an insubstantial price for the app, yet provides no customer support whatsoever.

1/10 definitely would not buy again.

**Developer response:** Hi Kienzlenator, sorry for the late reply. Please get the updated version of the app as I have fixed the issue. Let me know if you are still having problems. Nevis

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2022-05-22*

App only supports RSA keys, really need ED25519 keys implemented as RSA is blocked in Ubuntu 22.04 by default. Really like the app otherwise :)

**Developer response:** Hi Miguelini, could you please get the updated version of the app as I have fixed the issue. Let me know if you are still having problems. Nevis

### 2/5 — Crashing on 15.1

*2021-12-12*

Bought the full app after trying the lite version and finding out I can’t view a containers logs. When trying to view the logs the app crashes. So now I’m out $4, with only the hope that the dev will fix the app.

**Developer response:** Hi Dotlocal, sorry to hear that you are having this issue. 
Does the app crashes on every operation or just when you view the logs? Also, could you please write to my email nevis.applications@gmail.com so we can troubleshoot this issue further. I will be happy to assist to you.

### 4/5 — Perfect for tasks I need to do from my armchair!

*2021-07-31*

Fire up the media server, stop Folding At Home frying my cpu etc.

1 star off for logs not being readable in Dark Mode

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for bringing this issue up, please get the latest update as I have fixed the logs in dark mode.

### 5/5 — Best docker app
