Smarter Docker management, just like a pizza builder’s table
Imagine a Docker container as a single Lego brick and your application as the entire Lego house.
The Docker Compose file serves as the instruction booklet for building the entire Lego house with just a few clicks. The Docker Manager is like the smart building table that simplifies and streamlines the process of managing Docker projects on your VPS.
Imagine a situation where you have a Docker project with a complex docker-compose.yml file that contains multiple services and their dependencies. The Docker Manager allows you to manage all these services in an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
The new Docker manager provides a powerful, web-based solution for managing Docker projects on your VPS. This intuitive tool, included free of charge with all VPS hosting plans that have a Docker application template, is designed to simplify container management.
Skip the command line and deploy, start, stop, or monitor containers with just a click – even launch images straight from Docker Hub.
The Docker manager explained
Imagine a Docker container as a single Lego brick and your application as the entire Lego house. The Docker Compose file is the instruction booklet. So, the Docker manager is a smart building table: instead of following a long list of instructions, you simply provide the booklet and, with one click, the manager builds the entire house for you.
It’s an effortless, click-and-go process that gives you a visual overview and lets you fix any crooked bricks with a single click.
Key benefits for your workflow
The Docker manager provides a unified dashboard that enhances your control and efficiency through:
- One-click actions. Instantly deploy, start, and stop containers, reducing manual errors.
- Real-time monitoring. The visual dashboard provides a clear overview of your project’s health, including status and resource usage.
- Simplified deployment. Easily pull images and deploy them directly from your
docker-compose.ymlfiles. - Efficient troubleshooting. Quickly diagnose issues by reviewing logs in real time without the command-line terminal.
