Docker Commander — User manual

One page per part of the app, grouped roughly like the sidebar. The last section covers installing and running it.

New here? Start with Getting started.

Project home page: docker-commander.app.

Workloads

  • Dashboard — host overview, disk usage, running containers
  • Containers — run, start/stop, console, files, logs, processes
  • Stacks — Compose stacks: lifecycle, view and edit the compose file, redeploy
  • Projects — managed Compose folders: edit, validate, deploy, profiles, import/export
  • Templates — reusable presets, builder blocks and shared definitions, built-in and your own

Storage

  • Images — pull, build, push, tag, save/load/import, history, prune
  • Volumes — create, inspect, remove, prune, browse files
  • Backup jobs — run your own backup command against volumes

Network

Observability

  • Resources — CPU, memory and network per container and stack, top talkers, disk usage
  • Logs — live logs from many containers, regex search, parse rules
  • Events — the live Docker event feed
  • Alerts — rules and conditions, the feed, delivery records, webhooks, email, Prometheus

System & administration

  • Hosts — local, TCP+TLS and SSH daemons, host-key trust, per-host email
  • Registries — credentials for private pull and push
  • Users & roles — accounts, permissions, read-only
  • Your profile — your account, second factors, sessions, what you can reach
  • Settings — feature flags, localhost 2FA, MCP tokens, LDAP, SMTP, data retention; also hosts the two pages below
  • Policy rules — checks on project deploys (off / warn / block)
  • Recovery bundle — export and import your setup
  • Audit log — record of privileged actions
  • Troubleshooting — health checks for the host's Docker setup
  • MCP (AI tools) — control from AI tools (Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor): tokens, OAuth, allowed tools

Operations

  • Getting started — first run, 2FA, the basics
  • Installing — binaries, Homebrew, packages, Docker, from source; verifying a download; running as a service
  • Configuration — every flag and environment variable
  • Docker versions — which Engine and Compose versions are tested
  • Security model — how access to the daemons is protected
  • Architecture — how the pieces fit (for developers)
  • Deployment — running on a server: systemd, HTTPS, config, logs, health, self-update
  • Limits — every cap you can hit, and which can be changed
  • How it's tested — test tiers, multi-daemon runs over TCP/SSH, what isn't covered (for developers)
  • Gotchas — pitfalls in this codebase that cost real debugging time (for developers)
  • Dev environment — local setup and the services the tests expect (for developers)
  • Changelog — what changed in each release
