Docker Compose UI is a web interface for Docker Compose.

The aim of this project is to provide a minimal HTTP API on top of Docker Compose while maintaining full interoperability with Docker Compose CLI.

The application can be deployed as a single container, there are no dependencies nor databases to install.

Run the following command in terminal:

docker run \
--name docker-compose-ui \
-p 5000:5000 \
-w /opt/docker-compose-projects/ \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

You have to wait while Docker pulls the container from the Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/francescou/docker-compose-ui/

Then open your browser to http://localhost:5000

If you already have docker-compose installed, you can run docker-compose up and then open your browser to http://localhost:8080.

to use your own docker-compose projects run this command from the directory containing your docker-compose.yml files:

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
    -w $(dirname $(pwd)) \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

you can download my example projects into /home/user/docker-compose-ui/demo-projects/ from https://github.com/francescou/docker-compose-ui/tree/master/demo-projects

docker run \
--name docker-compose-ui \
-p 5000:5000 \
-w /opt/docker-compose-projects-git/ \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock  \
-e GIT_REPO=https://github.com/francescou/docker-compose-ui.git \
francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

Note that some of the services provided by the demo projects are not "scalable" with docker-compose scale SERVICE=NUM because of published ports conflicts.

Check out this project if you are interested in scaling up and down a docker-compose service without having any down time: https://github.com/francescou/docker-continuous-deployment

since you're running docker-compose inside a container you must pay attention to volumes mounted with relative paths, see Issue #6

Docker Compose UI support to lauch a console with a shell (one of /bin/bash or /bin/sh) in a given container if a suitable companion container is available, the only requirement for a web console is to support passing the container id (or name) and the command to exec as querystring parameters.

For e.g. with bitbull/docker-exec-web-console you can call http://localhost:8888/?cid={containerName}&cmd={command}, so you can pass the WEB_CONSOLE_PATTERN environment var to docker-compose-ui, that hold the pattern that will be used to build the url to load the console. Such pattern should include the {containerName} and {command} placeholders.

Example usage:

docker run \
    --name docker_exec_web_console \
    -p 8888:8888 \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock  \
    -e 'CONTEXT_PATH=/web-console/' \
    bitbull/docker-exec-web-console

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock  \
    -e 'WEB_CONSOLE_PATTERN=http://localhost:8888/web-console/?cid={containerName}&cmd={command}' \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

You can also run containers on a remote docker host, e.g.

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -e DOCKER_HOST=remote-docker-host:2375 \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

The project has been tested against a Docker Engines 1.12 cluster (swarm mode).

You need to add two environment properties to use an HTTPS remote docker host: DOCKER_CERT_PATH and DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY, see example by @ymote

If your projects require you to pull images from a private docker registry that requires authentication, you will need to provide a config.json file with the necessary configuration options to the docker-compose-ui container at /root/.docker/config.json. You can generate the file on any host by performing docker login [your private registry address] and copying the resulting file from your ~/.docker directory to where it is needed.

For example:

docker run \
    --name docker-compose-ui \
    -p 5000:5000 \
    -w /opt/docker-compose-projects/ \
    -v /home/user/.docker/config.json:/root/.docker/config.json:ro \
    francescou/docker-compose-ui:1.13.0

Docker Compose UI has been developed using Flask (python microframework) to provide RESTful services and AngularJS to implement the Single Page Application web ui.

The application uses Docker Compose to monitor and edit the state of a set of docker compose projects (docker-compose.yml files).
