I started my career as a Software Developer and later I moved into DevOps. For the past 6 years I worked on setting up CI/CD pipelines, Azure infrastructure setup and firefighting. I found the DevOps tasks very repetitive and was getting bored and yes… I was badly missing developing software!
A lot has changed since the time I used to write code over 6 years ago. Especially the web front-end JS frameworks have advanced quite a bit. New frameworks coming every now and then.
I decided to get back to coding and I quit my DevOps job! I spent a while learning React, NextJS, Golang, etc. and here is what I built!
It is a GUI for managing Docker containers on Virtual Machines. I know, I know… "everyone is moving to Kubernetes". But I am sure there are people who still use Virtual Machines, especially Indie Hackers use VPS like DigitalOcean, Linode, etc. so I hope this tool will be useful for at least some of you guys out there. If you are one of these guys, do give it a try and let me know your feedback.
NOTE: Its a BETA version so first try it out on your local machines or Dev/Test environments.
PS: If you are wondering what Dokémon means - its just a random name. I was thinking on the lines of Docker Manager and I went like DockerManager, DockMan, DocMan, Dokémon. Something sounding like Pokémon :)
EDIT: When I say Docker on Virtual Machines it includes VPS, physical machines and any place where Docker runs. What I meant is it doesn’t support managing Kubernetes, Nomad, etc.

I like the concept of your tool. Could it be used to spin up containers on a third-party service like Lambda Labs?
