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:latest
Then 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.
Warning: May cause sudden urges to containerize everything.





































































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.

In Japan, the practice of Shinrin-yoku , or forest bathing, is a recognized pillar of public health. Trees release antimicrobial compounds called phytonicides. When humans inhale these compounds, our bodies increase the production of white blood cells, which help fight off illness.

The philosophy of "buy less, buy better" rules the outdoor community. True outdoor enthusiasts invest in high-quality, versatile gear designed to last for decades rather than seasons. From technical merino wool layers to durable canvas tents, the focus is on performance and repairability.

The average adult spends upwards of seven hours a day looking at screens. This constant digital tethering has led to a collective exhaustion known as "tech fatigue." People are realizing that scrolling through social media feeds cannot replace the sensory richness of a real-world environment. Nature offers a "soft fascination"—a type of attention that restores mental energy rather than draining it. 2. The Rise of Remote Work
Exposure to green spaces rapidly lowers cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. The sounds of moving water, rustling leaves, and birdsong shift the nervous system from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state to a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state.
This involves engaging with natural landscapes through physical movement. It includes activities like hiking, trail running, backpacking, kayaking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. The goal is to challenge the body while immersing the senses in changing terrains. Slow Nature Immersion
