A web interface for managing docker containers with an emphasis on templating to provide 1 click deployments. Think of it like a decentralized app store for servers that anyone can make packages for.

## What it is
Yacht is a web-based UI for managing Docker containers with an emphasis on templates that enable 1-click deployments, like a decentralized app store for servers. It supports direct Docker API hosts and agent-managed remote hosts that sync inventory and execute container and compose lifecycle jobs.

## Use cases
- manage docker containers from a web ui
- one-click deploy apps on my home server
- deploy docker containers from templates
- manage remote docker hosts without exposing the docker api
- self-hosted alternative to portainer
- run a decentralized app store for my server
- start stop restart containers remotely via an agent

## When to choose
- you want a template-driven, 1-click deployment UI for Docker on Linux
- you manage multiple Docker hosts and want an agent-based control plane instead of exposing Docker APIs
- you want a lightweight self-hosted container manager with JWT auth

## When to avoid
- you need full Kubernetes or multi-orchestrator support
- you need verified Windows support, which is still being evaluated
- you need a mature enterprise container platform with extensive agent write support - agent-backed features are still limited on the develop branch

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
