6v6.2.1Sep 14, 2026LATEST

macOS Engine Startup & Terminal Stability

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🍎macOS engine startup: Fix Colima and other Homebrew-installed engines failing to start when Dockerman is opened from the Dock or Finder because required tools were missing from the subprocess PATH.
  • 🖥️Terminal stability: Prevent renderer errors caused by delayed updates after leaving a terminal view or closing theme previews.
6v6.2.0Sep 6, 2026

Fleet Dashboard & Windows Snap Layouts

✨ Features

  • 🌐Fleet Dashboard: Check observed Hosts together. View Engine status, container health, image counts, CPU, memory, disk usage, and snapshot age.
  • 🪟Windows 11 Snap Layouts: Hover over the maximize button to choose a window layout.

🔧 Improvements

  • 📡Host observation: Turn observation off for a remote Host to stop Fleet checks, metric sampling, event streams, and alerts. Checks do not start stopped Engines.
  • 🧭Fleet status: Distinguish fresh and cached snapshots, stopped Engines, timeouts, SSH trust requirements, and unreachable Hosts. See which Hosts were checked and which need attention.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🔌Engine switching: Refresh resource lists after switching local Engines and discard responses from the previous Engine.
  • 📦Container creation: Start newly created containers and verify that they are running before reporting success. Failed starts trigger cleanup and report any cleanup errors.
  • 📜Podman logs: Show and export console output that previously left the log view empty.
  • ☸️Kubernetes: Refresh StatefulSet and DaemonSet status after rollout actions, preserve YAML resource names while loading, and clarify loading and error states.
  • 🖥️Host dialogs: Keep add and edit dialogs accessible in short windows and reset forms when reopened.
6v6.1.0Aug 16, 2026

Local Domains for Docker Services

✨ Features

  • 🌐Local Domains: Give Docker services `*.dockerman.localhost` addresses without port numbers. macOS requires one administrator approval, Windows needs no setup, and Linux uses the broker in the .deb/.rpm packages. HTTP and WebSocket traffic use IPv4 and IPv6 loopback, and the listener runs only while domains exist.

🔧 Improvements

  • 🧭Local Domains setup: Before saving, the add dialog explains the port-80 listener, shows its state, and offers enable, approval, and repair actions.
  • 🔁Domains survive container recreation: Domains bind to the container name and internal port, so changed published ports need no reconfiguration.
  • 🪜Stable upgrade dialog: The image upgrade dialog keeps its frame across phases and shows progress and per-container status without shifting.
  • 🖱️Container row navigation: Only the ID and name cells open container details.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🔎Image update checks: Checks compare every local repo digest with the registry, preventing stale digests from causing repeated update notices. Scheduled notifications now include only stale images.
  • 🧯Image upgrade errors: Failed pulls keep the full registry error visible, and Retry returns to confirmation. Successful upgrades switch to the new container once, without flicker or duplicates.
  • 🚢macOS Dock icon: Closing the main window hides the Dock icon.
6v6.0.0Aug 2, 2026

Linkable Container Views, Titlebar Page Headers & Managed Engines

Container views now have their own routes, page titles and actions live in the titlebar, and macOS can manage Colima and Podman machines.

✨ Features

  • 🧭Routable container views: Detail, Stats, Logs, Terminal, Process, and Files are nested under `/container/:id`. Links, reloads, and back navigation preserve the view, including stopped, unsupported, and deleted states.
  • 🪟Page actions in the titlebar: List titles and actions moved into the top band with sidebar, back, and forward controls and shortcut hints.
  • 🖥️Managed engines on macOS: Detect, start, stop, repair, configure, and switch Colima and Podman machines from onboarding, Settings, or the Host switcher. Dockerman guides installation and updates but does not perform them.
  • 🐳Compose on Podman: Compose works when the Podman toolchain is available, with automatic environment setup and Podman-specific deployment errors.
  • ⌨️Terminal keep-alive: Container shells and scrollback remain available for five minutes after leaving Terminal.

🔧 Improvements

  • 🔄Shared refresh control: Refresh, retry, and reconnect use one control with continuous state transitions.
  • 📋Inline copy confirmation: Copy buttons show a check mark instead of a toast.
  • 🗂️Files and Logs layout: Both views use the full width. File previews use content detection, including for dotfiles, and show preview errors.
  • 🎛️Settings layout: The Engine picker and license panel now use cards.
  • 🧮Count badges: Sidebar and resource tables use filled badges for in-use resources and outlined badges otherwise.
  • 🪟Windows and Linux controls: Caption buttons support keyboard and screen readers, follow the theme, and show restore when maximized.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 📈CPU history and alerts: CPU history now uses per-interval instead of lifetime usage, and Podman no longer over-reports CPU. Existing alert thresholds may now fire correctly.
  • 🍎macOS window controls: Traffic lights stay centered while resizing.
  • 🐧Linux window corners: The titlebar no longer paints over rounded corners.
  • 🏷️Title transitions: Route changes no longer show empty or duplicate titles.

⚠️ Breaking

  • Container selection now lives only in the URL. The old flat container routes redirect, but the app no longer restores the container you had selected when it last closed.
  • The sidebar's 操作 / Actions section is gone. Container actions, including start, stop, and restart, now live in row menus and the container toolbar.
5v5.6.1Jul 12, 2026

Polished Motion & Smoother Dashboard Charts

✨ Features

  • 🎬Motion: Instant tooltips, trigger-based popover scaling, button press feedback, and reduced-motion support.
  • 📈Dashboard charts: CPU and memory charts use a lightweight liveline renderer with hover scrubbing and a y-axis.

🔧 Improvements

  • ⚡Table rendering: Virtualized rows no longer re-render on every scrolled pixel, and container views subscribe only to needed state.
  • 🎞️Animation cost: Expanded-row and sidebar animations use less CPU.
  • 📡Streaming lifecycle: Logs, stats, builds, pulls, and terminals share cleanup and reconnect handling.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🧭Navigation highlighting: Sidebar items and breadcrumbs now resolve correctly on subroutes with shared prefixes.
  • 📊Dashboard tooltips: Fixed NaN time labels and bare-zero values in I/O tooltips; charts pause while scrubbing.
  • 🧱Process view: Dataless columns are hidden and headers no longer wrap.
  • 🗄️Storage detail: The detail table now follows the selected tab.
5v5.6.0Jul 6, 2026

Apple Container Support & Guided Engine Setup

✨ Features

  • 🍎Apple Container support: Manage Apple containers, images, volumes, networks, logs, stats, builds, pulls, and terminals on macOS.
  • 🧭Guided engine setup: macOS users can detect, start, stop, and switch engines from onboarding and Settings.

🔧 Improvements

  • ⚡Large-view performance: Faster image filtering, table resizing, route switching, and action menus.
  • 🎛️Consistent filters: Image, volume, and log filters now use the same segmented control style.
  • 🔌Ports column: Hide redundant `0.0.0.0` hosts, keep the `+N` badge visible, and allow every port to be copied.
  • 🧩Page structure: Large pages and dialogs were split into smaller components.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🔌Engine switching: Fixed connection, capability, polling, and selection edge cases across Docker and Apple Container.
  • 📡Apple Container streaming: Fixed logs, stats, build output, pulls, and terminals.
  • 🧪Stability fixes: Fixed chart rendering, persisted store recovery, compose editor saves, container selection after reconnect, and log stream completion states.
5v5.5.0Jun 30, 2026

5v5.3.1May 12, 2026

Safer Windows CLI Copy Command

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🪟Windows CLI PATH safety: Settings → CLI → "Copy command" no longer changes User PATH, which could previously collapse to the Dockerman bin directory. Only "Install for this user" updates PATH through direct registry access. Copied commands write the ownership marker so manual installs appear as Dockerman-managed instead of `Unsupported`.
5v5.3.0May 5, 2026
