A modern, intuitive interface designed for productivity.
Warning: May cause sudden urges to containerize everything.
A powerful, intuitive Docker platform. Free for homelabs, ready for enterprise.
We think you'll like it here.
SQLite by default, runs on a Raspberry Pi, zero telemetry, free forever. Self-host everything without the complexity.
OIDC/SSO included free, container activity logging, Git-based deployments, premium support. Everything your team needs without the enterprise price tag.
RBAC, LDAP/AD integration, compliance-grade audit logging, and priority support. Everything you need to satisfy compliance requirements.
One command. No config files. No setup wizards, no 47-page README.
docker run -d \
--name dockhand \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v dockhand_data:/app/data \
fnsys/dockhand:latestThen open http://localhost:3000. Or put it behind Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, a Kubernetes ingress, three load balancers, and a VPN tunnel. We don't judge.

Host = one machine running Dockhand. Volume discounts available for 5+ hosts.
No cloud dependencies, no telemetry, no data leaving your network. Solid base.
Paranoid? We prefer "security-conscious."
Dockhand runs entirely on your infrastructure. No SaaS, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Your data never touches our servers.
We don't phone home. No usage tracking, no analytics, no mysterious background connections. Your Docker environment stays private.
SQLite by default, optional PostgreSQL for HA. No Redis, no message queues. Simple deployment, minimal attack surface.
Scan your images for CVEs using Grype and Trivy. Identify security risks before deployment.
Safe-pull protection: During auto-updates, new images are pulled to a temporary tag and scanned before touching your running containers. If vulnerabilities exceed your criteria, the temp image is deleted and your container keeps running safely.
We don't trust pre-built base images. Dockhand builds its own OS layer from scratch using Wolfi packages via apko. Every package is explicitly declared in our Dockerfile - full transparency, zero mystery meat.
While others ship Alpine with 10+ CVEs, we obsess over our own image security. Because a Docker management tool with vulnerabilities is like a locksmith with a broken door. We scan ourselves too.
Our open-source Go agent lets you manage Docker hosts behind NAT, firewalls, or dynamic IPs. The agent initiates outbound connections to Dockhand - no exposed ports, no inbound firewall rules needed.
A modern, intuitive interface designed for productivity.

See what our users are saying.
"After trying Dockhand in my lab and comparing features toe to toe with other tools I am currently using, I can honestly say it is one of the best that I have used. It is extremely easy to use, intuitive, and it puts docker management tool security in focus where it should be."
"Perfect for my homelab. It's lightweight, actively maintained, and has all the features I need. Love the terminal access and real-time log streaming!"
"The LDAP integration was a game-changer for our team. Set it up in 10 minutes and now all our developers have proper access control."
"Dockhand wants to be a Portainer replacement, and it might already be there."
"Dockhand is bursting onto the scene with impressive force, bringing a breath of truly fresh air to a world that, let's be honest, had started to feel a bit stagnant."
"Dockhand is incredibly handy to have around."
"The easiest way I've found to manage and update Docker containers."
Free forever. No, really. No bait-and-switch.

When compliance asks "is it enterprise-ready?" and you want to say yes.
The Third Servile War stands as the last and most significant of the slave uprisings against the Roman Republic. At the heart of this conflict lies the confrontation between Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator of nomadic origins, and Gaius Claudius Glaber, a Roman praetor. The clash between these two figures represents more than a military skirmish; it is a case study in class perception, logistical arrogance, and tactical adaptation. While later Roman generals, such as Marcus Licinius Crassus, would approach Spartacus with calculated caution, Glaber approached the rebellion with the assumption of inherent Roman superiority—a fatal error that prolonged the war and destabilized the Italian peninsula.
The conflict between Spartacus and Gaius Claudius Glaber serves as a historical microcosm of asymmetric warfare. Glaber’s failure was rooted in the rigidity of the Roman military mindset, which could not conceive of a "slave mob" outmaneuvering a Roman praetor. Conversely, Spartacus succeeded by leveraging the only advantages he possessed: surprise, terrain, and the desperation of his followers.
Originally close friends, Solonius and Batiatus become bitter rivals. Solonius frequently outmaneuvers Batiatus politically, leading to a "silent hatred" between the two.
What are your thoughts on Solonius? Was he a sympathetic figure, or did he get exactly what he deserved? Let me know in the comments.
In a show full of superheroic warriors and mustache-twirling villains, Solonius is painfully human. He represents the middle manager of the Roman world—smart enough to see the ladder, but not cruel enough to climb it successfully.
When fans talk about Spartacus: Blood and Sand , the conversation inevitably turns to the volcanic rage of its titular hero, the cunning of Lucretia, and the unmatched villainy of Gaius Claudius Glaber. But nestled between these titans is a character whose slow, humiliating fall is one of the show’s most underrated arcs: .
In the arena, before a cheering crowd, Solonius is stripped of his robes. He is not a warrior; he is a businessman. He faces Spartacus not with a sword, but with pathetic, desperate pleas for mercy. When Spartacus hesitates, Crixus steps in and caves Solonius’s skull in with a single, brutal blow.
The turning point is the arrival of the Roman magistrate, Calavius. Solonius has done everything right—he’s hosted Calavius, paid for games, and played the dutiful subordinate. Yet Batiatus, through lies, manipulation, and the sheer audacity of pimping out his own wife’s friend (Ilithyia), steals the magistrate’s favor out from under Solonius’s nose.
