Deploy One Agent Container.Monitor Docker Servers from Mobile.
Docker Monitor runs through a containerized agent: run the Docker Monitor Agent on your host, protect it with a token, and connect from your phone for server status, logs, and container monitoring.

echo "AGENT_AUTH_TOKEN=$TOKEN"Docker Monitor in 3 Steps
Deploy the agent container, set token auth, and connect your app.
Deploy Agent Container
Start `docker-monitor-agent` on your server. It talks to Docker over the Unix socket and exposes only required endpoints.
Secure With Token
Set `AGENT_AUTH_TOKEN` and paste that token in Docker Monitor. Requests are authenticated with `Authorization: Bearer ...`.
Operate From Mobile
Monitor containers, stream logs, view host stats, and run start/stop/restart actions from anywhere.
Why Teams Use Docker Monitor
Fast onboarding, clear auth boundaries, and mobile telemetry.
Simple Containerized Rollout
The agent runs as a normal container and can be removed or updated independently per host.
Dedicated Auth Layer
Use a per-server bearer token in the app. Unauthorized calls are blocked before monitored endpoints are accessed.
Host + Docker Stats
`/agent/stats` provides host-level metrics plus Docker counts in one mobile-friendly response.
Mobile Incident Response
Check logs, inspect state, and restart stuck containers without waiting to get back to your laptop.
SSH Tunnel Support
If your servers are private, tunnel app traffic through SSH and target the agent port safely.
Consistent Team Workflow
Standardize server onboarding around one deployment model across staging and production hosts.
Built For Quick Mobile Decisions
Agent on server. Actionable context on phone.
Fleet Overview
See server and container status instantly.
Container Controls
Start, stop, restart, and inspect with a few taps.
Live Logs + Stats
Investigate incidents directly from your phone.
