dpanel

Project Overview

DPanel is a lightweight visual panel for managing Docker containers, with a Go backend and a React + Ant Design frontend. It runs itself as one container on the Docker host, letting you manage containers, images, Compose and files from a browser — a good command-line replacement for NAS players and self-hosters.

One docker run command installs the panel; manage every container from then on in a browser.

Key Features

• Container management: create, start, stop and inspect logs in the web UI
• Image management: pull and build images directly from the interface
• Compose orchestration: create Compose definitions visually and deploy multi-container apps in one click
• File manager: browse and edit files inside container filesystems
• Domain forwarding & certificates: the standard edition bundles domain forwarding and HTTPS certificate issuance
• Overview dashboard: see host and container status at a glance
• Two editions: the lite edition keeps only container management and frees ports 80/443
• One-click script: fast deployment on Debian, Ubuntu and Alpine

Target Audience

• NAS and home-server players
• Self-hosting developers
• Ops beginners avoiding the CLI
• Users juggling many containers

Quick Start

1. Run the docker run command from the README on your Docker host, mounting docker.sock and a data directory
2. Open http://<server-IP>:8807 in a browser
3. Or use the official script curl -sSL https://dpanel.cc/quick.sh for quick setup
4. Manage containers, images and Compose apps in the panel

Core Advantages

• Extremely light: it is just one container with a small footprint
• Full coverage: containers, images, Compose and files in one place
• Chinese-friendly: docs and community aimed at Chinese users

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, etc.)
Dependency	a running Docker or Podman environment
Ports	standard: 80, 443, 8807; lite: 8807 only
macOS	mount /Users/<user>/.docker/run/docker.sock instead

Notes

• The standard edition occupies ports 80 and 443 for domain forwarding; adjust if they conflict
• The lite edition has no domain forwarding — set up your own reverse proxy
• On macOS the docker.sock path differs from Linux
