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.

For commercial use. Growing teams, happy CFOs.
When compliance asks "is it enterprise-ready?" and you want to say yes.
While Priya and Vivek manage the digital demands of their careers, the grandmother ensures Diya learns her native language, eats traditional rice dishes, and hears mythological bedtime stories. On weekends, the family disconnects from screens to video-call their extended family, bridging the gap between urban isolation and traditional collectivism. 5. Festivals and Milestones: The Ultimate Gatherings
Furthermore, the Indian calendar is a continuous tapestry of festivals—Diwali, Eid, Eid al-Fitr, Christmas, Pongal, Durga Puja, and Navratri, depending on the region and faith. During these times, the daily routine transforms entirely. Homes are deep-cleaned, traditional sweets are prepared in massive batches, and doorways are adorned with colorful rangoli patterns and marigold flowers. These periods reinforce a sense of community identity and ground the younger generation in their heritage. Balancing Modernity with Tradition
The day begins early, often before the sun rises. In many homes, the first sound is the sweeping of the front porch, followed by the drawing of a rangoli (geometric chalk patterns) to welcome prosperity.
The younger generation is highly globalized, tech-savvy, and entrepreneurial. They champion mental health awareness, career flexibility, and financial independence. Yet, when making major life decisions—such as buying property, switching careers, or choosing a life partner—they still heavily involve and prioritize the blessings of their parents.
Several Weebly-based websites claim to offer free, downloadable PDFs of episodes. Some of these platforms even market themselves as "100% Quality Free Content" hubs for adult comics. However, these sites are and may host other unsafe links.
Young adults migrate to metro cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi for career opportunities. This has made nuclear families the new urban norm.
Once the children and working adults leave, the pace of the household shifts, highlighting the communal nature of Indian neighborhoods. Daily life in India relies heavily on an informal ecosystem of vendors and helpers.
No narrative about Indian family life is complete without mentioning festivals. From Diwali and Eid to Navratri and Christmas, festivals are when the scale of Indian family life expands exponentially.
3:30 PM is the transition. Grandfather picks up the grandson. The boy throws a tantrum for a gola (shaved ice) from the street vendor. The mother returns from work, looking exhausted, but she cannot sit. She must prepare the evening snack—usually something fried, like pakoras because "it rained today," or noodles because the child demands "fast food."
