Docker

The Docker app gives you a Portainer-style view of any server running the Docker Engine, without needing Docker Desktop or installing an agent.

  • Containers — list, start/stop/restart, view logs, exec into a shell, remove.
  • Images — list, pull new, remove, prune unused.
  • Volumes — list, create, remove.
  • Networks — list, inspect, create, remove.
  • System — disk usage breakdown (docker system df).

All Docker data is fetched by running standard docker CLI commands over SSH and parsing the output:

  • docker ps --format ... for containers
  • docker images --format ... for images
  • docker volume ls, docker network ls, etc.

We use --format with a controlled template so output is easy to parse deterministically.

  • Docker Engine installed on the remote server.
  • Your SSH user must be in the docker group (or you must connect as root).
