Docker Guard Help

User guide for the Docker Guard Agent & iOS app
EN DE
Overview
Welcome

Docker Guard consists of two parts: the Docker Guard Agent running on your Docker host, and the Docker Guard iOS app on your iPhone. The app talks directly to the agent over your local network — no cloud, no port forwarding, no third-party services.

Privacy first: The agent uses an API key you control and only mounts the Docker socket read-only by default.

What you get

  • Live overview of your containers, images, volumes, networks and host info.
  • Local notifications when a container unexpectedly changes state.
  • Optional Control Pack (in-app purchase): start, stop and restart containers from your iPhone.

Quick start

  1. Run the Agent container on your Docker host.
  2. Open Docker Guard on iOS, enter the agent URL and API key in Settings.
  3. Tap Connect — the dashboard populates with your live data.
