Cloudinovasi UI for Docker

A fork of the amazing UI for Docker by Michael Crosby and Kevan Ahlquist (https://github.com/kevana/ui-for-docker) using the rdash-angular theme (https://github.com/rdash/rdash-angular).

UI For Docker 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.

Goals

• Minimal dependencies - I really want to keep this project a pure html/js app.
• Consistency - The web UI should be consistent with the commands found on the docker CLI.

Run

Quickstart

1. Run: docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui

2. Open your browser to http://<dockerd host ip>:9000

Bind mounting the Unix socket into the UI For Docker container is much more secure than exposing your docker daemon over TCP.

The --privileged flag is required for hosts using SELinux.

Specify socket to connect to Docker daemon

By default UI For Docker 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 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -e http://127.0.0.1:2375

Swarm support

Supported Swarm version: 1.2.3

You can access a specific view for you Swarm cluster by defining the --swarm flag:

# Connect to a tcp socket and enable Swarm:
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -e http://<SWARM_HOST>:<SWARM_PORT> --swarm

NOTE: Due to Swarm not exposing information in a machine readable way, the app is bound to a specific version of Swarm at the moment.

Change address/port UI For Docker is served on

UI For Docker listens on port 9000 by default. If you run UI For Docker inside a container then you can bind the container's internal port to any external address and port:

# Expose UI For Docker 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 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui

Access a Docker engine protected via TLS

Ensure that you have access to the CA, the cert and the public key used to access your Docker engine.

These files will need to be named ca.pem, cert.pem and key.pem respectively. Store them somewhere on your disk and mount a volume containing these files inside the UI container:

# Note the access to the endpoint via https
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -v /path/to/certs:/certs -e https://my-docker-host.domain:2376

Note: Replace /path/to/certs to the path to the certificate files on your disk.

Hide containers with specific labels

You can hide specific containers in the containers view by using the -hide-label or -l options and specifying a label.

For example, take a container started with the label owner=acme:

$ docker run -d --label owner=acme nginx

You can hide it in the view by starting the ui with:

$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -l owner=acme

Available options

The following options are available for the ui-for-docker binary:

• --endpoint, -e: Docker deamon endpoint (default: "/var/run/docker.sock")
• --bind, -p: Address and port to serve UI For Docker (default: ":9000")
• --data, -d: Path to the data folder (default: ".")
• --certs, -c: Path to the certificates used for TLS (default: "/certs")
• --assets, -a: Path to the assets (default: ".")
• --swarm, -s: Swarm cluster support (default: false)
• --hide-label, -l: Hide containers with a specific label in the UI
