Features

• Natural Language Container Management:
  • Compose Docker containers using natural language prompts.
  • The LLM (Large Language Model) interprets instructions, generates plans, and applies them interactively.
• Remote Docker Engine Support:
  • Connects to remote Docker engines for administration (e.g., managing public-facing websites).
• Local Container Management:
  • Allows local users to spin up and manage containers without direct command-line interaction.
• Project-based Management:
  • Keeps track of containers, volumes, and networks associated with a project name.
  • Supports resuming and cleaning up entire projects.
• Container Introspection & Debugging:
  • Introspect running containers.
  • View container stats (CPU, memory, etc.).
  • Fetch and tail logs from containers.
• Volume Management:
  • Manage persistent data using Docker volumes (list, create, remove).
• Image Management:
  • List, pull, push, build, and remove Docker images.
• Network Management:
  • List, create, and remove Docker networks.
• Container Lifecycle Operations:
  • List, create, run, recreate, start, stop, and remove containers.
  • Fetch container logs.
• Safety Features:
  • Does not support sensitive Docker options such as --privileged or --cap-add/--cap-drop for security reasons.
• Configuration:
  • Uses Python Docker SDK's from_env for flexible configuration.
• Development Environment:
  • Devbox support for development and reproducible environments.

Disclaimers

• Sensitive Data: Do not use the tool to configure containers with sensitive information (e.g., API keys, passwords) unless the LLM is running locally.
• Security: Review containers created via the LLM, as Docker is not a secure sandbox and actions may impact the host.
