Dockpeek is a lightweight dashboard for browsing exposed Docker container ports. It supports both local and remote Docker sockets via socket-proxy, enabling one-click access to containers across multiple hosts.
- Port Mapping — View and access exposed ports of running Docker containers with a clean, minimal UI.
- Clickable Access — Instantly open services running in containers via direct links.
- Multi Docker Sockets — Manage multiple Docker sockets in one place.
- No Configuration Required – Auto-discovers containers from connected sockets.
Managing multiple Docker hosts and containers often means juggling IP addresses and port numbers to access your apps. Dockpeek streamlines this by letting you open containerized applications with a single click—no need to remember or type IPs and ports.

- DOCKER_HOST_1_PUBLIC_HOSTNAME= # Optional public hostname or IP for links; if empty, inferred from URL
# Docker Host 2
- DOCKER_HOST_2_URL=tcp://192.168.1.168:2375 # Docker proxy URL
- DOCKER_HOST_2_NAME=Synology # Name shown in the UI
- DOCKER_HOST_2_PUBLIC_HOSTNAME=NAS # Optional public hostname or IP (e.g. 'NAS' for Tailscale access)
# Add more Docker hosts by increasing the number (3, 4, etc.)
Note
unix:///var/run/docker.sock Requires mounting the Docker socket volumes: /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
Dockpeek is configured entirely through environment variables.
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
SECRET_KEY |
Yes | A strong, unique secret. |
USERNAME |
Yes | Username for Dockpeek login. |
PASSWORD |
Yes | Password for Dockpeek login. |
DOCKER_HOST |
No | URL of the primary Docker socket (e.g., unix:///var/run/docker.sock or tcp://socket-proxy:2375). Defaults to local socket if omitted. Recommended for use with a local proxy |
DOCKER_HOST_N_URL |
No | Defines an additional Docker host (e.g., tcp://192.168.1.10:2375). Replace N with a number (1, 2, 3, ...). |
DOCKER_HOST_N_NAME |
No | Friendly name for the additional Docker host shown in the UI. |
DOCKER_HOST_N_PUBLIC_HOSTNAME |
No | Public hostname or IP for clickable links (e.g. 'NAS' for Tailscale access); If unset, it's inferred from the DOCKER_HOST_N_URL. |
Note
All multi-host variables (DOCKER_HOST_N_*) must use matching N indices for URL, name, and hostname entries.
