Dokémon: A GUI Tool for Docker Management

Dokémon is a user-friendly graphical interface designed to simplify the management of Docker containers. It enables users to handle multiple Docker servers from a single Dokémon instance.

Getting Started with Dokémon

Quickstart Guide

If you want to get Dokémon up and running quickly, follow these steps:

Create a Data Directory: You'll need to create a directory to store the Dokémon data:
```
mkdir ./dokemondata
```

Launch Dokémon: Use Docker to run Dokémon:

sudo docker run -p 9090:9090 \
            -v ./dokemondata:/data \
            -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
            --restart unless-stopped \
            --name dokemon -d productiveops/dokemon:latest

After execution, Dokémon will be accessible through port 9090 on your host machine.

Advanced Configuration: Using Traefik with LetsEncrypt SSL

For those needing a secure setup, Dokémon can be configured to run behind Traefik with a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate. The example configuration involves:

Traefik Setup: Configuring the Traefik container with detailed parameters, including enabling the Docker provider, configuring entrypoints, and setting up the LetsEncrypt resolver.
Dokémon Service: Adding the Dokémon service with the appropriate labels for Traefik to route requests to it, and providing necessary volumes.

Steps to Configure:

Create a compose.yaml file with the configuration specified above.
Prepare the necessary directories for LetsEncrypt and Dokémon data:
```
mkdir ./letsencrypt && mkdir ./dokemondata
```
Bring up the services using Docker Compose:
```
docker compose up -d
```

After completion, you can access Dokémon at https://dokemon.example.com.
