Without DockPilot
Scattered terminals, stale metrics, copy-paste commands, and no shared place to inspect stacks or turn AI findings into runnable steps.
Open source · Self-hosted
DockPilot
Docker operations, one cockpit.
Run containers, Compose stacks, live logs, and a web terminal from a single fast dashboard — with local AI analysis when you need a second pair of eyes.
The gap
CLI is powerful. Context-switching is not.
Jumping between docker ps, logs, exec, and compose files slows incident response when you need a clear view of the host.
With DockPilot
One warm dashboard for lifecycle actions, live logs, terminal, Compose, resources, and local Ollama analysis — self-hosted on your machine.
Capabilities
Everything you reach for during an incident
Built for operators who already know Docker — faster feedback, fewer tabs.
Instant live dashboard
Warm metrics cache serves KPIs in tens of milliseconds, then refreshes CPU, memory, and status in place.
In-browser terminal
Open a real shell into any running container over WebSocket — no SSH hop required.
Live log streaming
Follow logs over SSE with tail, filter, and download — not a one-shot dump.
Compose stack control
Group services by project and run up, pull, restart, stop, or down as one unit.
Local AI analysis
Ask Ollama to diagnose a container and turn findings into saved, runnable runbooks.
Hardened by default
Basic Auth, CSRF on mutations, and security headers so a cockpit on the LAN stays gated.
Workflow
Four steps from noise to action
A short loop you can run all day without leaving the browser.
Find
Filter the container table by name, image, state, or ports.
Act
Start, stop, restart, inspect, or open logs and terminal.
Ask
Run AI analysis when a container looks wrong or logs are noisy.
Apply
Execute suggested Docker commands or save them as a runbook.
Get started
Install and run in minutes
Source, binary, or Docker — pick the path that matches your host.
