A powerful, intuitive Docker management platform with real-time container control, Compose stack support, and enterprise-grade security features. We think you'll like it here.
From simple container operations to complex multi-environment deployments, Dockhand has you covered. Even that one container you forgot about three months ago.
Start, stop, restart, and remove containers with ease. View detailed container information, environment variables, and running processes.
Manage Docker Compose stacks with a visual editor. Edit YAML directly or use the intuitive visual interface to configure services.
Browse and manage Docker images. View layer details, tags, and easily remove unused images to free up disk space.
Stream container logs in real-time with full ANSI color support. Finally, errors in beautiful technicolor.
Access container shells directly from your browser. No more SSHing like it's 1999.
Connect to multiple Docker hosts - local sockets, remote TCP connections, or SSH tunnels. Switch between environments seamlessly.
Full Docker networking and volume control. Create, inspect, and manage networks and volumes with detailed visibility.
Browse Docker registries, view available tags, and pull images directly. Support for private registries with authentication.
Track all container operations with a comprehensive activity log. See who did what and when with full audit trails.
Live CPU & memory stats, running processes, and container states update automatically. No page refresh required.
Get notified when containers stop, crash, or exceed resource limits. Configure alerts via email, webhooks, or desktop notifications.
Save and reuse container configurations. Create templates for common setups and deploy them with one click.
Deploy stacks directly from Git repositories. Sync on push with webhooks or set up automatic polling. Your GitOps workflow, simplified.
Scan images for security vulnerabilities with Grype or Trivy. Filter by severity, see detailed CVE info, and catch issues before deployment.
Built by the guy who has been a selfhosting enthusiast for way too many years. Yes, he runs his own mail server. No, he won't help you set up yours. You can find him lurking and sometimes posting on r/selfhosted.
Built with SvelteKit for blazing performance. No waiting for pages to load or actions to complete.
Clean, intuitive UI that doesn't feel like it's from 2010. Dark mode by default, because we're not savages.
Works out of the box. Just mount the Docker socket and you're ready. No PhD required.
Optionally uses SQLite for data storage. No external database required. Runs smoothly on a Raspberry Pi.
OIDC, LDAP, and MFA support for teams that need proper access control and audit trails.
Edit docker-compose.yml files with a visual interface. No more YAML indentation headaches.
Live updates across the board: CPU/memory stats, running processes, container states, and logs. No manual refresh needed.
Changes made outside Dockhand appear instantly. Start a container from CLI and see it live in the UI immediately.
A comprehensive feature set that most Docker management tools lack. We'd include a comparison to managing Docker via CLI, but it would be considered "cruel and unusual punishment."
| Feature | Common in other tools | Dockhand |
|---|---|---|
| Modern dark UI | Rarely | ✓ |
| Visual Compose editor | — | ✓ |
| Real-time log streaming | Sometimes | ✓ |
| ANSI color support in logs | — | ✓ |
| Web-based terminal | Sometimes | ✓ |
| Multi-environment support | Rarely | ✓ |
| Git repository integration | — | ✓ |
| OIDC/SSO authentication | Often paid | ✓ FreeOIDC/SSO is included in the Free Edition because we believe authentication shouldn't be a premium feature. The free SSO provides basic single sign-on without local user storage - users authenticate directly via their OIDC provider. Enterprise edition adds user management, role-based access control, and advanced features on top of SSO. You guys from r/selfhosted convinced us to do this. |
| LDAP/Active Directory | Often paid | ✓ |
| Multi-factor authentication | Rarely | ✓ |
| Role-based access control | Often paid | ✓ |
| Lightweight (no external DB) | Sometimes | ✓ |
| Live CPU/memory monitoring | Sometimes | ✓ |
| Vulnerability scanning (Grype/Trivy) | — | ✓ |
| Free for personal use | ✓ | ✓ |
See what our users are saying about Dockhand.
"Finally, a Docker UI that doesn't feel bloated. The visual Compose editor alone is worth it. Switched from other tools and never looked back."
"The LDAP integration was a game-changer for our team. Set it up in 10 minutes and now all our developers have proper access control. No enterprise pricing surprises."
"Perfect for my homelab. It's lightweight, actively maintained, and has all the features I need. Love the terminal access and real-time log streaming!"
"The ANSI color support in logs is something I didn't know I needed. Now I can actually read my application logs without squinting. Also runs perfectly on my RPi 4."
"After trying several Docker management tools, Dockhand has the best balance of features and simplicity. The dark UI is easy on the eyes during those late-night debugging sessions."
"Our small team needed SSO without breaking the bank. Dockhand's OIDC integration with our Google Workspace was seamless. Worth every penny of the enterprise license."
"After using Dockhand, other Docker UIs feel like kid's toys. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Also, my wife thinks I spend too much time admiring the dark theme. She's probably right."
"Finally, a Docker UI that doesn't make me want to go back to the command line. Clean, fast, and just works."
"Switched from Portainer. No regrets. My containers have never looked this organized, and neither has my life."
A modern, intuitive interface designed for productivity. Warning: May cause sudden urges to containerize everything.
Start free for personal use. Upgrade for teams and enterprise features. No calculator required.
We don't want to be on the sso.tax list. OIDC/SSO is free.
Free forever. No, really. We're not going to pull a bait-and-switch.
For when your boss asks "is it enterprise-ready?" and you need to say yes.
Enterprise-grade authentication and access control for your organization. Finally, something to show the compliance team.
Single Sign-On with any OpenID Connect provider. Works with Google, Azure AD, Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, and more.
Connect to Active Directory or any LDAP server. Sync users and groups automatically with configurable mappings.
TOTP-based two-factor authentication. Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, and other authenticator apps.
Fine-grained permissions with customizable roles. Control who can view, manage, or administer containers and settings.
Personal settings, avatar upload with cropping, and MFA management. Let users customize their experience.
Get help when you need it. Email support with fast response times and access to our team of Docker experts.
No cloud dependencies, no telemetry, no data leaving your network. Paranoid? We prefer "security-conscious."
Dockhand runs entirely on your infrastructure. Your data never touches our servers. No SaaS, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in.
We don't phone home. No usage tracking, no analytics, no mysterious background connections. Your Docker environment stays private.
Mount the Docker socket as read-only for monitoring. Full access only when you need management capabilities. You're in control.
SQLite database stored locally. No external database servers, no Redis, no message queues (only Grype/Trivy if you want vulnerability scanning). Simple deployment, minimal attack surface.
Enterprise licenses are cryptographically signed. Even with full source access, licenses cannot be forged without our private key.
Activity logging tracks all container operations. Know who did what and when. Perfect for compliance requirements and security audits.
Just run one command and you're ready to go. That's it. No config files, no setup wizards, no 47-page README.
Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. Or put it behind Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, a Kubernetes ingress, three load balancers, and a VPN tunnel. We don't judge.
Get started with Dockhand today. Finally, a UI that sparks joy.
