Durbin - Docker Container Manager

Tiny PHP script for monitoring Docker Containers running on a VPS/remote server.

Installation Steps

git clone git@github.com:ajaxray/durbin.git,
composer install --prefer-dist
Copy the inc/config.php.

cp inc/config.php inc/config.local.php

Then adjust your deployment environment in inc/config.local.php.

Now you can run it like any php application using nginx, apache, or even with PHP development server¹.

# Assuming you are in Durbin base directory
cd public
php -S localhost:8081

Durbin is built using Framework-X. See Production deployment options from their docs.

Running in a subdirectory

If your domain is example.com and you want to keep this tool at example.com/durbin, just keep this durbin directory in your example.com's web root directory.
Also, in the inc/config.php file, set base_url to 'http://example.com/durbin/'.

Security

Secured with Basic Auth by default. Check the auth values in inc/config.php to get/change the username and password.

If you want to disable it, just remove BasicAuthMiddleware from FrameworkX\App instantiation in index.php. Disabling auth is NOT RECOMMENDED! unless you are using some other kind of security.

Roadmap

Show running containers
Show all containers (including stopped)
Show container status (CPU/Memory uses etc.)
Secure with Basic Auth
Ability to install in subdirectory
Show latest logs of a container
Show streaming logs of a container
Start a stopped container
Stop a running container

Notes/Cautions

PHP development server php -S is not suitable for showing streaming logs.

Additional things to remember

Docker should be in running state in your server.
This app itself should not be running inside Docker container.
