Dockhand is a self-hosted, web-based Docker management platform that gives you a single dashboard to deploy containers, manage stacks, track updates, and read logs across one or more hosts. It runs on SQLite by default, so it sets up with minimal configuration, ships with zero telemetry, and is free for homelabs. Use it to replace ad-hoc terminal commands and scattered compose files with a friendly interface that scales from a single node to a multi-server rack.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
