Since its creation in 2020, Docketeer has been a great tool for monitoring and managing Docker containers. Several teams have made great contributions to Docketeer so the bar was high prior to this upcoming release. Now on its tenth version, Docketeer is looking better than ever with a complete redesign on the frontend and improved metrics and visualization tools. Version 10 is here to make a big splash!

Check out the improved metrics dashboard!

The metrics dashboard is new and improved. Docketeer now utilizes cAdvisor, Prometheus and Grafana to provide the best container monitoring and visualization tools available. cAdvisor provides accurate and real time metrics of the host user’s containers ensuring that what you see on Docketeer is a precise representation of the resources being utilized. Prometheus and Grafana provides us with a time series storage of your containers and a stunning display as can be seen in the picture above. Container metrics have never looked better.

Revamped user interface!

The new Docketeer adds the capabilities of TailwindCSS and the brand-new ReduxToolkit to create a new and improved user display. Tailwind provides us with inline styling to all our React components that modularizes our styling, allowing for easy changes for all current and future contributors. ReduxToolkit makes our frontend a lot more readable and makes future features easy to incorporate.

Zero Local Configuration

# .env
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_NAME=docketeer-db
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASS=postgres

Using Docketeer has never been easier. After cloning our repo, and adding the following .env variables to the root directory. All one needs to do is type docker compose up in the terminal and our app will be running on http://localhost:4000/.
