Gantry is a native iOS app for managing Docker containers from anywhere. Whether you're monitoring a homelab server, checking on a VPS, or managing containers over Tailscale — Gantry puts full control in your pocket. CONTAINERS View all running, stopped, and paused containers at a glance. Start, stop, restart, pause, and unpause with a single tap. Remove stopped containers when you're done. LIVE LOGS Stream container logs in real time with syntax-aware colorization. Pause and resume the stream, export via the iOS share sheet, or copy individual lines. TERMINAL Run commands inside any running container using Docker exec. Quick-access chips for common commands — ps, env, df, id, ports, uname, and more. PROCESS VIEWER See every process inside a container with docker top. Scrollable table with per-column sizing. REAL-TIME STATS Monitor CPU and memory usage with live charts that build over time, updating every 10 seconds. IMAGES Browse images by tag, size, and creation date. Remove unused images with a tap. iCLOUD SYNC Your Docker host list syncs automatically across all your devices. NATIVE — NOT A WEB WRAPPER Every screen is hand-crafted SwiftUI. No WebView, no React Native, no Electron. Just a real iOS app. — To connect Gantry to a Docker host, the Docker daemon must be reachable over the network. Recommended: bind Docker to a Tailscale IP for secure access from anywhere without exposing ports to the internet.
