DockerTab is a mobile application designed for developers seeking to monitor and manage Docker containers from their iPhone. The tool addresses the need for remote and on-the-go Docker control, offering features that allow users to keep track of their containers whether on a local network or from anywhere in the world. It is available as a free download on the iOS App Store, with premium features accessible via a subscription.
Core capabilities include viewing the status of all running and stopped containers, inspecting port bindings, and accessing the last 100 lines of container logs at no cost. Users can start, stop, and restart containers directly from their phone without needing to use a terminal. The app allows direct LAN connections to the DockerTab Agent running on a Mac or Linux machine, eliminating the need for relay servers or additional latency when on the same network. Secure access is emphasized through JWT authentication, API key pairing, and end-to-end TLS encryption, ensuring that user data remains private and under their control.
Premium features expand the tool’s functionality to include real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and network statistics, as well as real-time log streaming similar to the 'docker logs -f' command. Premium users can also access container environment variables with sensitive values automatically redacted, receive push notifications for container events like stops or crashes, and use a full interactive shell to execute commands inside running containers. Remote access to Docker hosts is enabled via an encrypted relay, allowing management from any location. The setup process is streamlined: users run the DockerTab Agent on their host machine with a single Docker command, then pair their device by scanning a QR code, with no need for manual configuration or port forwarding.
DockerTab is positioned as a developer tool for those who require comprehensive Docker management capabilities from their mobile device. The service offers a free tier with essential monitoring and control features, while a single premium subscription unlocks advanced capabilities such as real-time stats, notifications, remote access, and interactive shell access.
