Linux
Install Dockerman on Linux distributions and configure the Docker Engine for your setup.
Dockerman ships as a .deb, .rpm, or AppImage so you can install it on the distribution you already use.
Install
sudo dpkg -i dockerman_*_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -fInstall the .deb package on Debian or Ubuntu.
sudo rpm -i dockerman-*.x86_64.rpm
# or
sudo dnf install dockerman-*.x86_64.rpmInstall the .rpm package on Fedora or RHEL.
chmod +x Dockerman-*.AppImage
./Dockerman-*.AppImageUse AppImageLauncher or --install if your desktop supports it.
Set up Docker Engine
Follow the official Docker Engine install instructions for your distribution at docs.docker.com/engine/install/, then make sure the daemon is running. Dockerman works with Docker Engine 20.10 and later.
Permissions
Add your user to the docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USERLog out and back in
Group membership only applies to new login sessions.
Verify access
Run docker ps without sudo.
Being in the docker group is effectively root access on the host. Use rootless Docker if you need a stricter boundary.
Wayland vs X11
Dockerman works on both Wayland and X11. On Wayland, global shortcuts use the xdg-desktop-portal Shortcuts API, and on X11 they use a traditional key grab.
Freedesktop integration
Dockerman installs a .desktop file so it appears in your application menu. The tray icon uses the StatusNotifierItem specification, which is supported by KDE, GNOME with extensions, XFCE, and MATE.
