portkey

Portkey gives you a clean web interface to handle your Docker containers without the overhead of a full orchestration platform. It focuses on the basics: starting, stopping, and monitoring containers from your browser. The tool runs as a single binary with a small footprint, making it ideal for homelabs or small production setups.

It supports Docker Compose files for multi-container applications and provides real-time logs and resource usage graphs. Portkey integrates with the Docker socket directly, so it works with any existing Docker installation on Linux. The project is built with Go and a minimal frontend, keeping dependencies low. There is no built-in user management or multi-server support.

This tool suits developers and sysadmins who want a simple visual layer over Docker without learning Kubernetes or buying a commercial panel. It is open source under the MIT license and maintained by a solo developer. Portkey is not designed for large deployments but handles single-server workflows well.
