Container Management

Overview

Dockerman provides a visual interface for managing Docker containers. View, create, start, stop, restart, and remove containers from a single panel.

Container List

The Containers page lists every container on the host — running and stopped. Each row shows:

• Container name and ID
• Image in use
• Current state (running, stopped, paused)
• Port mappings
• Created time

Use the search bar to filter by name or image.

Creating a Container

1. Click Create on the Containers page
2. Pick a base image from local images or pull a new one
3. Configure container settings:
   • Name
   • Port mappings
   • Volume mounts
   • Environment variables
   • Resource limits (CPU, memory)
4. Click Create to launch the container

Container Actions

Right-click a container or use the action buttons:

• Start — start a stopped container
• Stop — gracefully stop a running container
• Restart — stop and restart the container
• Pause / Resume — freeze or resume the container's processes
• Remove — delete the container (must be stopped first)

Viewing Logs

Click a container to open the detail view, then switch to the Logs tab. Features include:

• Real-time log streaming
• Timestamps
• Search and filter within logs
• Download log files

Inspecting a Container

The Inspect tab shows the container's full configuration in JSON, including network settings, mounts, and environment variables.
