DockerHub manages the Docker containers on servers you already own. It speaks the real Docker Engine API over an ordinary SSH connection — the same mechanism the official docker CLI uses for `docker -H ssh://`. That means there is nothing to install on your servers, no port to open, and no daemon listening on TCP. WHAT YOU GET • Live instruments — radial gauges, segmented meters and sparklines driven by real readings from the daemon. Where a value cannot be measured it is shown as unknown, never as a zero that looks like a reading. • A health scorecard — eleven checks across availability, observability, security and hygiene: containers with no restart policy, ports published to the whole network, the Docker socket mounted into a container, running as root, floating image tags. The grade is explainable line by line. • Activity with the pattern visible — a density chart across 24 hours, repeated events collapsed into one row with their rhythm, and burst detection when several containers fail on one host inside the same minute. • Your whole fleet at once — every server connects on launch. A matrix compares servers against metrics and services against servers, so a database missing from one host is obvious. • Real terminal access — follow logs as they stream, open an interactive shell inside a container, browse its filesystem, read a full inspect. • Themes that are actually yours — every colour, radius, font scale and density is a token you can change. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no server of ours in the middle. Credentials are held in your device keychain and sent only to the server you are connecting to. Analytics is off unless you turn it on, and never records hostnames, credentials, container names or log contents.
