Arcane
Arcane gives you a single polished dashboard to manage Docker containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose projects across unlimited remote hosts. The SvelteKit frontend paired with a Go backend delivers real-time resource monitoring with historical graphs, container lifecycle controls including shell exec and live log streaming, and one-click Docker Compose deployment with Git repository synchronization for version-controlled stack definitions. The manager-agent architecture connects remote environments via Direct TCP on port 3553 or Edge mode where agents initiate outbound gRPC/WebSocket connections through NAT and firewalls without requiring inbound ports, all secured with mTLS certificates. Vulnerability scanning identifies security issues in running container images directly from the interface. The backup system enables scheduled container snapshots with configurable retention for disaster recovery. Network and volume administration includes visual relationship mapping between services, and the responsive interface supports dark/light themes with full mobile optimization and community-driven internationalization via Crowdin. 6,500+ stars and 89 releases since April 2025 reflect a rapid development cadence. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSD-3-Clause licensed.
Benefits
- Multi-Host Docker Management
- Manage unlimited remote Docker environments from one dashboard using the agent architecture with Direct TCP or Edge mode connections through NAT without inbound port requirements.
- Docker Compose Project Deployment
- Create, edit, and deploy multi-container applications directly from the web UI with Git repository synchronization for version-controlled stack definitions and updates.
- Real-Time Resource Monitoring
- Live CPU, memory, network, and disk metrics per container with historical graphs provide immediate visibility into resource consumption and performance bottlenecks.
- Vulnerability Scanning Built-In
- Identify security issues in running container images directly from the management interface without requiring external scanning tools or separate CI/CD pipeline integration.
Features
- Container Lifecycle
- Full container management including start, stop, restart, kill, pause, rename, and interactive shell exec with live log streaming and resource consumption metrics.
- Edge Agent Mode
- Agents behind NAT or firewalls connect outbound to the manager using gRPC or WebSocket transport with mTLS certificate security, eliminating inbound port requirements.
- Container Backups
- Scheduled container snapshots enable point-in-time disaster recovery with configurable retention policies and storage location management for backup artifacts.
- Image Management
- Pull, push, tag, and delete Docker images with registry authentication support, layer inspection, and vulnerability assessment for security-conscious deployments.
- Network Visualization
- Visual relationship mapping between containers, networks, and volumes provides intuitive understanding of service connectivity and infrastructure topology.
