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.

Supported Docker versions

The following Docker versions are supported:

• full support for Docker 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12
• partial support for Docker 1.9 (some features won't be available)

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 --host, -H flags to change this socket:

# Connect to a tcp socket:
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2375

# Connect to another unix socket:
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -H unix:///path/to/docker.sock

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 -H tcp://<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:

$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -v /path/to/certs:/certs -H https://my-docker-host.domain:2376 --tlsverify

You can also use the --tlscacert, --tlscert and --tlskey flags if you want to change the default path to the CA, certificate and key file respectively:

$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui -v /path/to/certs:/certs -H https://my-docker-host.domain:2376 --tlsverify --tlscacert /certs/myCa.pem --tlscert /certs/myCert.pem --tlskey /certs/myKey.pem

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

Use your own logo

You can use the --logo flag to specify an URL to your own logo.

For example, using the Docker logo:

$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock cloudinovasi/cloudinovasi-ui --logo "https://www.docker.com/sites/all/themes/docker/assets/images/brand-full.svg"

The custom logo will replace the CloudInovasi logo in the UI.

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

Reverse proxy configuration

Has been tested with Nginx 1.11.

Use the following configuration to host the UI at myhost.mydomain.com/dockerui:

upstream cloudinovasi-ui {
    server ADDRESS:PORT;
}

server {
  listen 80;

  location /dockerui/ {
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Connection "";
      proxy_pass http://cloudinovasi-ui/;
  }
  location /dockerui/ws/ {
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_pass http://cloudinovasi-ui/ws/;
  }
}

Replace ADDRESS:PORT with the CloudInovasi UI container details.

Host your own apps

You can specify an URL to your own templates (Apps) definitions using the --templates or -t flags.

By default, CloudInovasi templates will be used (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloud-inovasi/ui-templates/master/templates.json).

For more information about hosting your own template definition and the format, see: https://github.com/cloud-inovasi/ui-templates
