NO docker daemon or docker api is required to be enabled for this app, simply connect via ssh. It is strongly recommended NOT to open unnecessary ports on your server (such as enabling docker daemon) as it can expose your server to more security threads.
Connect via ssh to your Linux server and manage your docker.
This application allows you to:
- connect to multiple servers
- list containers
- inspect containers
- view resource usage of containers
- list images
- connect through password or rsa key
The lite version is designed to get an idea of the app and to test the ssh connection to your server. If the app suits you and you would like to use all the features, please get the full version https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/docker-management/id1527656144 which allows you to:
- create containers
- start containers
- stop containers
- restart containers
- remove containers
- view live logs of containers
- build images
- remove images
Features
- credentials are encrypted
- server info is stored on phone only (the data is wiped out if app is removed)
Q/A
Q: Why I can not connect with non-root users?
A: The docker commands are executed by the app without "sudo" so you will need to add your non-root user to the docker group with the following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USERsudo reboot
Q: Why I can not connect to Synology server with non-root user?
A: The non-root user has to in the docker group and also when ssh-ing to Synology server, the .bashrc profile is not loaded by default so the following command are required:
sudo synogroup --add docker $USER;
sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock;
# for synology version 7.1.xxx or lower
sudo ln -sf /volume1/@appstore/Docker/usr/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker;
# for synology version 7.2.xxx or higher
sudo ln -sf /volume1/@appstore/ContainerManager/usr/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker;
NOTE: "/volume1/@appstore/Docker/usr/bin/docker" might be different for your case.
Q: Why I can not connect to QNAP server with non-root user?
A: The non-root user has to in the docker group and also when ssh-ing to QNAP server, the .bashrc profile is not loaded by default so the following command are required:
sudo addgroup $USER administrators
sudo ln -s /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/container-station/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker
NOTE: "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/container-station/bin/docker" might be different for your case.
Q: Why my ssh key is not working?
A: The ssh agent accepts only RSA format keys so if you are using another format (openssh) please convert it with the following command:
ssh-keygen -f -p -m pem -P PASSPHASE -N PASSPHASE
NOTE: add "" if there is no passphase for the ssh key
