Configuration

Adding a server

Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → Docker Manager

Step 1: Server details

Field	Description	Example
Server name	Display name used for entity IDs	Docker1
Connection type	Local socket or Remote TCP	Remote TCP
Host IP	IP of the Docker host (TCP only)	192.168.1.10
Docker port	TCP port Docker listens on	2375
Scan interval	Poll frequency in seconds	10

⚠️ Server name becomes part of all entity IDs — choose carefully. My Server → sensor.my_server_containers_running

Step 2: Connection test

The integration connects to Docker and lists discovered containers. Click Submit to confirm.

Configuring container options

After a server is added, click Configure on the integration card:

1. Select a container from the dropdown (✅ = already configured, ⬜ = not yet)
2. Set optional fields:

Field	Description
Display name	Friendly name shown in dashboards
Port	Manually override the exposed port
LAN URL	URL for tap-to-open in dashboards
External URL	Public URL for the service

3. Toggle Configure another container to chain configurations
4. Click Submit to save

Container ports are auto-detected from Docker — manual port entry is only needed for override or documentation purposes.

Input boolean helpers (for collapsible dashboard sections)

Create one toggle helper per server in Settings → Devices & Services → Helpers → Toggle:

Name	Entity ID
Docker Docker1 Expanded	input_boolean.docker_Docker1_expanded
Docker Server2 Expanded	input_boolean.docker_Server2_expanded
Docker Server3 Expanded	input_boolean.docker_Server3_expanded

Adjust names to match your server names.
