DockPod

Appearance

DockPodContainer ops panel + lite PaaS

Single binary. 30-second install. Point your repo, push your code, app goes live. Your AI can manage it too.

Single Binary, <30MB RAM

One Go binary, embedded React UI, SQLite storage. No extra containers just to run the panel.

Docker & Podman

Auto-detects the Docker or Podman socket — same UI, same API either way.

Paste & Deploy

Paste a docker-compose.yml, or pick from common presets — databases, MinIO, RabbitMQ, Meilisearch, Grafana, and more. No git required, free forever.

1-Click Deploy

One-click app templates — Vaultwarden, n8n, Uptime Kuma, Changedetection.io, Stirling PDF, Memos, Actual Budget, Firefly III, and more. Pick a card, optionally add a domain, and deploy with automatic HTTPS.

Git Deployments

Point at a repo — compose, Dockerfile, or zero-config Nixpacks/Railpack, auto-detected. Builds on every push via webhook, live build logs.

Database Provisioning

One-click Postgres/MariaDB/Redis/MongoDB/ClickHouse/DragonflyDB, each in its own container, localhost-bound, with backup on demand.

MCP-native

Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can list containers, read logs, and trigger deploys directly from chat — with an optional dedicated HTTPS domain and localhost fallback.

Built-in Security

Per-user two-factor authentication, a full audit trail, host firewall and Fail2Ban management built in, and on Pro a CrowdSec Web Application Firewall that blocks malicious traffic at Traefik before it reaches any app.

Deploy Notifications

Every deploy reports whether it succeeded or failed, with the commit SHA. Email on Free; Telegram, Slack, and Discord on Pro.

Git Providers

Connect GitHub in one click — DockPod creates its own App, no tokens to copy. GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea connect with a personal access token.

Quick Install ​

bash
curl -fsSL https://dockpod.io/install.sh | bash

See the Installation guide for manual setup, systemd, and firewall notes.

One Panel, Two Workflows ​

Ops / DevOps — already running containers on a VPS ​

You don't want to pay for another server, or install five containers just to get a management UI.

  • Full container/image/volume/network control
  • Live logs and live stats, no extra agent
  • Docker or Podman — same binary, same UI
  • Scheduled maintenance: prune, restart, auto-update

Vibe Coder — you generate code with AI, now you need it live ​

Claude or Cursor just wrote your app and a docker-compose.yml. You don't want to think about infrastructure.

  • Push to GitHub, point DockPod at the repo
  • Auto-detects compose vs Dockerfile
  • Webhook auto-deploy on every push
  • Tell Claude "deploy my app" — it just works

Your AI Already Knows How to Deploy It ​

DockPod runs a full Model Context Protocol server — Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can inspect and manage containers directly from the conversation.

  1. "Build me a Laravel app with PostgreSQL" → your AI generates code + docker-compose.yml
  2. Push to GitHub → point DockPod at the repo → webhook auto-configured
  3. Tell Claude: "deploy my app" → MCP triggers the deploy, streams the logs, done

One config block, no bridge and nothing to install — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dockpod": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.example.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer dp_mcp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

You don't have to write it: generating a key under Settings → API Keys shows this block with your own URL and key already filled in, ready to copy.

See the full MCP setup guide for the complete tool list and the older clients that still need a bridge.
