DockHand

An application that allows the management of containers on your local system in and intuitive ad helpful manner

V1 Features

---

• See all containers running on your local machine whether started or stopped
• Provides container information such as the following:
  • Running or Stopped
  • Container Id with auto-copy
  • Image sha
  • Any Volumes present
  • Any Mounts present
  • Ports used
  • Command used to start container
• Start and stop containers that exist on your machine
• Remove stopped containers from your machine
• Spin up new containers with images that are already downloaded to your machine
• Stream logs from container
• Use quickfilters to filter by INFO, WARN, SEVERE
• Custom Filtering of logs based on input from user

Getting started

• This app works with docker, it must be connected to docker.sock file for it to work correctly. This means if you are running this app locallym I expect for you to have Docker installed.
• first you will need to pull down the image to use by running docker pull 4990814/dock-hand
• Once you have the image available locally you can run the following command: docker run -p "PORT_YOU_WANT_TO_VISIT:5642" -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" 4990814/dock-hand
  • This runs the application locally on your machine
  • maps your local docker.sock file to the container's version
  • maps port 5642 of the container which is where the server is set up, to a port of your choice on your computer. You should replace PORT_YOU_WANT_TO_VISIT with an open port that is available on your machine.
  • visit http://localhost:PORT_YOU_WANT_TO_VISIT/ and start using the application.

Finding Bugs

Please if you find bugs with the application, I would appreciate them being logged in the Github Issues area.

V2 (Coming Soon)

• Launch Docker compose files and manage them as clusters in app
• Clusters will allow containers in compose cluster to be managed easily together including getting logs from individual containers or combined logs
• Web console, which will allow a use to exec into a container and execute commands on any container from the GUI

V3 (TBD)

• A wizard which allows a user to create a compose file in the GUI, which will be written and executed as a cluster automatically
