Features

What's included.

Zero-config autodiscovery

Every container, Compose stack, exposed port, volume, and network is detected automatically via the Docker socket. No YAML to write, no services to register manually.

Live health dashboard

Per-container CPU%, memory usage, uptime, and restart count — all refreshed automatically. Containers are grouped by Compose project for easy scanning.

Searchable log history

Logs from every running container are streamed and stored in SQLite. Search across all containers from the UI. Retention window is configurable (default: 7 days).

Discord alerting

Get notified when a container crashes, restarts unexpectedly, or is OOM-killed. Alerts are configurable per-container from the Settings page.

Single-command deployment

One docker compose up -d starts everything. No external database, no agents to configure separately, no manual setup steps.

Self-hosted & private

Runs entirely on your machine. No data leaves your network. No cloud account, no API key, no telemetry.
