Settings

Reference for every settings page. Each section links back to the feature it controls.

Runtime settings

Use the runtime preference selector to choose between Auto, Docker, and Podman. Auto tries Docker first, then Podman. The detected runtime is shown below the selector after a successful connection. When connected to Podman, Compose features are automatically disabled.

Docker settings

Use Docker settings to choose the connection type, set a socket path, and inspect connection status. For SSH-backed connections, see Remote Hosts.

Daemon config panel

Use the Daemon config panel to edit daemon.json in either a form view or a raw JSON view. Registry mirrors are especially useful on Windows with the WSL2 Engine, and Windows platform shows where that file lives.

Kubernetes DNS settings

Use Kubernetes DNS settings to enable automatic DNS for port forwards. See Port Forward & DNS for the behavior it controls.

Kubernetes port forward settings

Use Kubernetes port forward settings to set the default local port range, retry behavior, and auto-reconnect.

License settings

Use License settings to activate, view, and reset your Dockerman license. See Licensing for the full flow.

Notification settings

Use Notification settings to control which events trigger a notification and whether Dockerman shows an in-app banner, a system notification, or both.

Notification channels

Manage external notification channels (Telegram, ntfy, Gotify, Discord, Webhook) from the dedicated Notifications page. Each channel uses a Shoutrrr-compatible URL, and credentials are stored in your system Keychain.

Alert rules

Configure alert rules that connect Docker events and resource metrics to your notification channels. See Alert Rules for the full setup.

Image upgrade watches

Configure background image monitoring and default notification channels from the Image Upgrade Watches page.

Privacy settings

Use Privacy settings to toggle product analytics and crash reporting. Both are opt-in by default.

Shortcut settings

Use Shortcut settings to customize or unbind anything listed in Keyboard Shortcuts.

Terminal settings

Use Terminal settings to change the font family, font size, cursor style, theme, and default shell preference for new terminals.

Tray settings

Use Tray settings to show or hide the tray icon, minimize Dockerman to the tray on close, and edit the tray menu actions.

Trivy settings

Use Trivy settings to set the Trivy binary path, the vulnerability database update interval, and the default severity filters. See Scan with Trivy for the scan flow.
