## About

Dockhand is a modern, efficient Docker management application providing real-time container management, Compose stack orchestration, and multi-environment support.  All in a lightweight, secure and privacy-focused package.

### Features

- **Container Management**: Start, stop, restart, and monitor containers in real-time
- **Compose Stacks**: Visual editor for Docker Compose deployments
- **Git Integration**: Deploy stacks from Git repositories with webhooks and auto-sync
- **Multi-Environment**: Manage local and remote Docker hosts
- **Terminal & Logs**: Interactive shell access and real-time log streaming
- **File Browser**: Browse, upload, and download files from containers
- **Authentication**: SSO via OIDC, local users, and optional RBAC (Enterprise)

## Tech Stack

- **Base**: own OS layer built from scratch using <a href="https://github.com/wolfi-dev/os">Wolfi packages</a> via apko. Every package is explicitly declared in the Dockerfile.
- **Frontend**: SvelteKit 2, Svelte 5, shadcn-svelte, TailwindCSS
- **Backend**: Bun runtime with SvelteKit API routes
- **Database**: SQLite or PostgreSQL via Drizzle ORM
- **Docker**: direct docker API calls.
