Cockpit Docker Manager

A hacked, probably broken, Docker management plugin for Cockpit that provides a web interface for managing Docker containers, stacks, images, networks, and volumes.

Installation

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/cockpit/docker
sudo cp -r * /usr/share/cockpit/docker/
sudo systemctl reload cockpit

Access through Cockpit at https://your-server:9090

Requirements

• Cockpit web console
• Docker Engine
• Docker Compose (v1 or v2)

Core Features

Stack Management

• Create and manage Docker Compose stacks with YAML syntax highlighting
• Environment variable management through .env files
• Real-time container logs and statistics
• Automatic update checking and one-click updates
• Import/export for backup and migration

Resource Management

• Images: Pull, list, and remove Docker images
• Networks: Create and manage Docker networks
• Volumes: Create and manage persistent storage
• Built-in cleanup tools for unused resources

Service Control

• Monitor and control Docker daemon
• Start, stop, and restart Docker service

Configuration

Default paths:

• Configuration: /etc/cockpit/docker-manager.conf
• Stacks: /opt/stacks

Stack storage location can be changed in Settings.
