Docker Explorer

Manage Docker containers without touching the command line

The Docker Explorer panel gives you a live view of your containers, logs, and service state directly in the ServerDesk workspace — no docker CLI, no SSH tunnel, no separate management tool.

Capabilities

What you can do

Container list and status

See all running and stopped containers with their image, uptime, port mappings, and current state at a glance.

Live log streaming

Tail container logs in real time directly from the panel — useful for debugging a misbehaving service without opening a full terminal session.

Start, stop, restart

Control container lifecycle from the browser. Restart a crashed service or stop a container while keeping other work open.

Container details

Inspect ports, environment variables, volumes, and network configuration for any container.

Works alongside terminal

Use the Docker panel for quick operations and switch to the terminal for complex docker-compose or scripted workflows.

Notifications on events

Container state changes are surfaced in the workspace notifications centre so nothing goes unnoticed.

Use cases

When teams use this

  • Check which containers are running on a staging server before a release
  • Restart a web container without opening a terminal session
  • Tail logs from a Node.js or PHP-FPM container to debug a 500 error
  • Inspect environment variables on a running container during an incident

Concrete workflow

One realistic way teams use this feature

  1. Step 1

    Open Docker Explorer on the active server and confirm which containers are healthy, stopped, or restarting.

  2. Step 2

    Inspect logs or restart the failing service from the panel without losing the rest of the workspace.

  3. Step 3

    Ask Robbie to explain a Docker log or switch to Terminal for docker-compose or deeper runtime checks.

See it in action

Docker container management without the command line

See running and stopped containers, tail live logs, restart a crashed service, and inspect ports and environment variables — all from a browser panel next to your editor.
