## What is Docker Management?

Receive notifications of docker events such as "start,create,delete,tag etc" of "container/image/volume/network" directly to your mobile.
Connect via ssh to your Linux/MacOS machine to monitor/manage your docker. 

This application allows you to:
 - add multiple servers
 - connect through password or ssh key
 - receive notifications on docker events
 - ability to customize notification triggers
     - select events to be notified
     - choose what to exclude/include
     - pick a silence window (to not receive notifications)
 - 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 logs of containers (real time)
- search on logs of containers
- enter shell of containers
- list images
- vulnerability image scanning
- build images
- search images on registries
- pull images (also from private registries)
- remove images (multiple at once)
- inspect images
- list volumes
- remove volumes (multiple at once)
- inspect volumes
- list networks
- remove networks (multiple at once)
- inspect networks

Features
 - Server info is stored on phone only (the data is wiped out once the app is removed)
 - Receive notifications on docker events
 - Run "docker system prune" to clean up unnecessary resources

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

### 3/5 — Can't get to work with Mac host and orbstack

*2025-10-26*

It says I have to add the user to the docker group, but not using docker desktop, using orbstack and there is no docker group. docker.sock is owned by my non root user. Why shouldn't it work as a non root user with orbstack on Mac?

**Developer response:** Hi Sfatula, please write to my email so we can troubleshoot it further. I am looking forward to resolving your issue.

### 5/5 — Call you later today or call

*2023-06-28*

Sorry for your loss I mean

### 1/5 — Fails to connect

*2023-04-20*

Verified with numerous other similar apps and server is accessible locally, but fails with this app.

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the late late reply. I just did a lot of updates, can you update the app and try again, it works on local network too. Let me know :)

### 3/5 — No openssh keys

*2022-12-04*

I am using Truenas. Truenas uses openssh keys and manages / creates them. So, can't use the app unfortunately. 

You should add this feature.

**Developer response:** HI there, sorry for the late reply but please get the updated version and try again. I would appreciate your feedback.

### 5/5 — Smooth

*2022-04-09*

Very smooth app :)

## Frequently asked questions about Docker Management

### How do I connect to Docker with a non-root user?

To connect with a non-root user, you need to add your user to the 'docker' group on your server. This is typically done with the command `sudo usermod -aG docker $USER` followed by a reboot. For Synology servers, use `sudo synogroup --add docker` and `sudo synogroup --memberadd docker $USER`, then `sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock`. For QNAP, use `sudo addgroup $USER administrators`.

### Does Docker Management require a Docker daemon to be enabled?

No, Docker Management does not require a Docker daemon or API to be enabled. It connects to your Docker environment simply by using SSH, which is a more secure approach than exposing the Docker daemon directly.

### What Docker events can I receive notifications for?

You can receive notifications for a wide range of Docker events, including the start, create, delete, and tag of containers, images, volumes, and networks. You can also customize which events trigger notifications and set up exclusion rules or silence windows.

### How can I manage multiple Docker servers with this app?

The application allows you to add multiple servers to your profile. This enables you to switch between and manage different Docker environments directly from your mobile device without needing to reconfigure connections each time.

### What are the subscription options for Docker Management?

Docker Management offers subscription plans for enhanced features. You can choose between a monthly subscription for $1.99 or an annual subscription for $12.99, providing access to Pro features.

### How is my server information stored?

Server information, including connection details, is stored exclusively on your phone. This data is automatically wiped once the application is removed from your device, enhancing privacy and security.

### Can I view real-time logs and search within them?

Yes, you can view real-time logs for your containers directly within the app. Furthermore, the application provides functionality to search through these logs, helping you quickly find specific information or errors.

### What is the update frequency of Docker Management?
