Up and running in 30 seconds

One command. No config files. No setup wizards, no 47-page README.

Terminal
docker run -d \
  --name dockhand \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v dockhand_data:/app/data \
  fnsys/dockhand:latest

Then open http://localhost:3000. Or put it behind Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, a Kubernetes ingress, three load balancers, and a VPN tunnel. We don't judge.

Prefer Docker Compose?

docker-compose.yml
services:
  dockhand:
    image: fnsys/dockhand:latest
    container_name: dockhand
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - dockhand_data:/app/data

volumes:
  dockhand_data:

Need PostgreSQL?

docker-compose.yml
services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: dockhand
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: changeme
      POSTGRES_DB: dockhand
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  dockhand:
    image: fnsys/dockhand:latest
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: postgres://dockhand:changeme@postgres:5432/dockhand
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - dockhand_data:/app/data
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    restart: unless-stopped

Host = one machine running Dockhand. Volume discounts available for 5+ hosts.

Your infrastructure, your control

No cloud dependencies, no telemetry, no data leaving your network. Solid base.
Paranoid? We prefer "security-conscious."

Self-hosted only

Dockhand runs entirely on your infrastructure. No SaaS, no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Your data never touches our servers.

Zero telemetry

We don't phone home. No usage tracking, no analytics, no mysterious background connections. Your Docker environment stays private.

Minimal dependencies

SQLite by default, optional PostgreSQL for HA. No Redis, no message queues. Simple deployment, minimal attack surface.

Vulnerability scanning

Scan your images for CVEs using Grype and Trivy. Identify security risks before deployment.

Safe-pull protection: During auto-updates, new images are pulled to a temporary tag and scanned before touching your running containers. If vulnerabilities exceed your criteria, the temp image is deleted and your container keeps running safely.

Hardened from scratch

We don't trust pre-built base images. Dockhand builds its own OS layer from scratch using Wolfi packages via apko. Every package is explicitly declared in our Dockerfile - full transparency, zero mystery meat.

While others ship Alpine with 10+ CVEs, we obsess over our own image security. Because a Docker management tool with vulnerabilities is like a locksmith with a broken door. We scan ourselves too.

Hawser: Manage Docker hosts anywhere

Our open-source Go agent lets you manage Docker hosts behind NAT, firewalls, or dynamic IPs. The agent initiates outbound connections to Dockhand - no exposed ports, no inbound firewall rules needed.

Behind the Magic: A Deep Dive into the World’s Most Popular Entertainment Studios and Productions

In the modern era, the content we consume is more than just a story—it is an ecosystem. Whether you are binge-watching a sci-fi saga, lining up for a superhero blockbuster, or dissecting a critically acclaimed limited series, you are engaging with the output of the world’s most powerful engines of creativity. These engines are the popular entertainment studios and productions that shape global culture.

While the industry faces criticism for a heavy reliance on sequels and reboots, the sheer quality of craft coming from these studios is undeniable. They remain the primary engines of the "theater experience," consistently delivering the kind of massive, communal storytelling that smaller independent productions simply cannot scale.

Netflix Studios

Netflix transformed from a DVD rental service into the most prolific production studio on Earth. They release more original content in a month than MGM released in a decade. Their data-driven model—greenlighting shows based on algorithms—has produced surprising global hits.

Recent Strategy: Under the leadership of David Zaslav, Warner Bros. has merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery. Their focus has shifted toward “franchise management,” prioritizing theatrical releases for tentpole films (like Dune: Part Two) while using Max (formerly HBO Max) as the streaming home for serialized hits like The Last of Us and Succession.

The following studios, known for their massive financing and distribution power, dominate the Hollywood landscape:

Conclusion While Disney and Warner Bros. focus on spectacle, Netflix scales globally, and A24 captures the counterculture. The real winner? You, the viewer, who gets endless variety.

Key Productions: The Harry Potter series (and the subsequent Fantastic Beasts spin-offs), the DC Extended Universe (Aquaman, The Batman), and the cultural juggernaut Friends.

  1. YouTube: With over 2 billion monthly active users, YouTube has become the go-to platform for digital content creators. From vloggers and gamers to educational channels and music videos, YouTube has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment.
  2. Twitch: As a live streaming platform for video games and other digital content, Twitch has become a major player in the gaming and entertainment industries.
  3. Hulu: With a focus on streaming TV shows and movies, Hulu has become a popular destination for cord-cutters and entertainment fans.

Ready to simplify Docker management and stop pretending you enjoy YAML indentation?

Get started in 30 seconds. No credit card required.
Finally, a UI that sparks joy.
