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 - docker compose - list projects - start project - stop project - restart project - remove project 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 Terms of Use (EULA) - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Found a bug?
