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.

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.
Like it? Fuel the dev with caffeine.
For commercial use. Growing teams, happy CFOs.
When compliance asks "is it enterprise-ready?" and you want to say yes.
Let me go through each word again, ensuring synonyms are appropriate. For example, "license" could have synonyms like permit, authorization, etc. But in the context of software, "authorization" might be better. Also, "keygens" are licensegenerators, serialnumbergenerators, etc.
I should check each sentence for replacements, ensuring that each word (excluding proper nouns) has three alternatives. For example, "Download" becomes Obtain, "the" remains the same because it's an article and doesn't have alternatives. Wait, no, the user said "modify all words", so even articles? But in the example, "the" wasn't modified. Hmm. Wait, the instruction says "modify all words with 3 alternatives formatted v2". But articles like "the", prepositions like "to", etc., aren't being replaced. The example given in the user's query doesn't replace "the", so maybe only content words are being modified. So verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc. Function words like articles, prepositions, maybe not. So I need to focus on replacing only the content words.
For the part where you click on "Help" and "Enter License Key", those are specific actions, so maybe the verbs like "click" can be "tap", "select", "activate".
Check →Assess that →Ascertain(but "that" is a conjunction here. Maybe using "Ensure" isn't correct. Let me think. "Ensure" is a verb. Maybe the user wants to replace "that" as in "Check that your system..." So maybe "that" is being used as a conjunction here. The synonyms could be "Ensure|Guarantee|Confirm" perhaps as verbs, but that might not fit. Wait, "Check that your system..." is a structure where "that" introduces a clause. Perhaps "Verify which your system..." Hmm, but "which" is not the same. Maybe the user wants the literal word "that" to be replaced, but since it's a conjunction, there are limited synonyms. Perhaps the user expects three entries even if not perfect. Alternatively, maybe the user wants the entire phrase "Check that..." to be transformed. But the instruction is word-wise.
