## Description

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.

## Platform availability

Available on 3 of 9 platforms: Unraid, TrueNAS, ZimaOS.

## Health score
