sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/dockyard.app/To build Dockyard from source, follow these steps:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ropali/dockyard.git
cd dockyard
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the Rust backend
cargo build --release
# Run the app in development mode
npm run tauri devDockyard is designed to be simple and intuitive. Once installed, launch the application and start managing your Docker containers, volumes, and networks.
Dockyard automatically detects containers created with Docker Compose and provides enhanced management features:
- Project Grouping: Containers from the same Docker Compose project are grouped together
- Service Information: Each container shows its service name from the docker-compose.yml file
- Collapsible Groups: Click on a project group to expand/collapse and view individual containers
- Bulk Operations: Use the "Compose" button in the top bar to expand/collapse all Docker Compose groups at once
- Status Overview: Each group shows the number of running containers vs total containers
Dockyard identifies Docker Compose containers by looking for the com.docker.compose.project label that Docker Compose automatically adds to containers. This allows for:
- Automatic project detection without manual configuration
- Support for multiple Docker Compose projects
- Proper service name display using the
com.docker.compose.servicelabel
