A UI for managing docker containers and docker-compose stacks.

The background for this project was a desire for a lighter-weight portainer, without its various shortcomings or support for things like Kubernetes.

• Look at all your running containers!
• Create docker-compose stacks through the web ui!
• Inspect your docker-compose stacks!
• Inspect/modify/delete networks, volumes and images!
• Dark Mode 😎

The web client is built using Vue (2.x) and the backend is written in Python with the Flask framework.

These both get smushed together into a Docker image by a Github workflow in this repo, and published to the Github Container Registry (ghcr.io).

The app stores some local state (mostly stack metadata) in a sqlite database.

docker-compose will be bundled in the docker image, but for now it's just broken.

Uh....ok. You are a bold one.

docker run -p 11111:5000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/phybros/stackcenter:latest

StackCenter should now be running at http://localhost:11111.

So you want to work on StackCenter...

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Python 3.7+
• Node 10
• Yarn
• A good attitude and positive outlook

1. Clone the repo
2. cd frontend
3. cp .env.local.sample .env.local - this will make sure your local yarn devserver hits the local flask app on port 5000
4. yarn serve - at this point the app should come up on http://localhost:8080 but won't work properly until we run the backend
5. In a new terminal window...
6. cd backend
7. python -m venv venv
8. source venv/bin/activate
9. pip install -r requirements.txt
10. python -m app

Now you have both the front and backend servers running locally and both with hot reload!
