## What it is
Dockhand is a modern, self-hosted Docker management web application for real-time container management, Compose stack orchestration, and multi-environment Docker host administration. It is built with SvelteKit and Bun, uses SQLite or PostgreSQL via Drizzle ORM, and talks directly to the Docker API.

## Use cases
- manage docker containers from a web ui
- deploy docker compose stacks with a visual editor
- manage multiple local and remote docker hosts from one dashboard
- deploy compose stacks from git repositories with webhooks and auto-sync
- view container logs and get an interactive shell into containers
- browse and upload files inside containers
- monitor cpu memory and disk metrics per docker host
- self-host a docker dashboard on a raspberry pi for my homelab

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, privacy-focused Docker UI with zero telemetry for a homelab or small team
- you need multi-environment Docker host management with SSO/OIDC authentication
- you want Git-based Compose stack deployments with webhooks and auto-sync
- you prefer a single-container deployment that runs on SQLite with no database setup

## When to avoid
- you need RBAC, LDAP/AD integration, or compliance audit logging without paying for an enterprise license
- you only need a CLI for scripting Docker operations rather than a web UI
- you cannot or will not mount the Docker socket into a container
- you require a fully open-source license - the project has a custom (NOASSERTION) license with paid enterprise tiers
