Frequently asked questions

Does Docker Guard send my data anywhere?

No. The iOS app talks directly to the agent on your network. No telemetry, no cloud relay, no third-party services.

Why does the agent need access to /var/run/docker.sock?

The Docker socket is the standard interface to query containers, images, volumes and networks. The agent mounts it read-only by default. Write access is only needed for container start/stop/restart actions.

Can I run multiple agents?

Yes — run one agent per Docker host. Multi-host support in the iOS app is on the roadmap.

What is the Control Pack?

A one-time in-app purchase that unlocks container actions (start, stop, restart). Monitoring features stay free.

What about real APNs push notifications?

The current release uses local notifications driven by background polling. A push-server-based delivery (similar to NAS Guard) is planned for a later version.

HTTPS / self-signed certificates?

For pure-local-network setups HTTP is sufficient. If you put the agent behind a reverse proxy with TLS, use the public hostname in the app's agent URL field.
