DockerUI is a web interface for the Docker Remote API. The goal is to provide a pure client side implementation so it is effortless to connect and manage docker. This project is not complete and is still under heavy development.
Bind mounting the Unix socket into the DockerUI container is much more secure than exposing your docker daemon over TCP. The `--privileged` flag is required for hosts using SELinux. You should still secure your DockerUI instance behind some type of auth. Directions for using Nginx auth are [here](https://github.com/crosbymichael/dockerui/wiki/Dockerui-with-Nginx-HTTP-Auth).
By default DockerUI connects to the Docker daemon with`/var/run/docker.sock`. For this to work you need to bind mount the unix socket into the container with `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`.
You can use the `-e` flag to change this socket:
# Connect to a tcp socket:
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged dockerui/dockerui -e http://127.0.0.1:2375
### Change address/port DockerUI is served on
DockerUI listens on port 9000 by default. If you run DockerUI inside a container then you can bind the container's internal port to any external address and port:
# Expose DockerUI on 10.20.30.1:80
$ docker run -d -p 10.20.30.1:80:9000 --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock dockerui/dockerui
