A native desktop app for monitoring Docker containers across local and remote hosts. Built with Tauri 2 and React.
- Live container list with state, image, ports, uptime, and CPU / memory / network stats
- Tailing log viewer with pause and clear
- Start, stop, restart, and remove containers from the UI
- Local Docker auto-detected on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Remote hosts over SSH (system ssh, password, or key file) or plain TCP
- Test connection before saving, so you know it works before persisting
- Passwords and key passphrases stored in the OS keyring; nothing sensitive on disk
- System tray with hide-to-tray on window close
- Light and dark themes that follow your system
Download the installer for your platform from the latest release:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS Apple Silicon | Bartainer-VERSION-macOS-AppleSilicon.app.tar.gz |
| macOS Intel | Bartainer-VERSION-macOS-Intel.app.tar.gz |
| Windows x86_64 | Bartainer-VERSION-Windows-x86_64.exe |
| Linux x86_64 | Bartainer-VERSION-Linux-x86_64.AppImage or .deb |
The app is unsigned, so the first launch shows a gatekeeper or SmartScreen warning. On macOS right-click the app and choose Open; on Windows click "More info" then "Run anyway"; on Linux chmod +x the AppImage before running.
Click the + in the host sidebar and pick an auth method:
- System ssh — Uses your local
sshbinary. Works with ssh-agent keys,~/.ssh/configaliases, and Tailscale SSH without any extra setup. Recommended if you already SSH to the host from a terminal. - Password — Type host, username, and password. The password is stored in the OS keyring.
- Key file — Provide a username and the absolute path to a private key, plus a passphrase if the key is encrypted.
The remote needs Docker running and the SSH user in the docker group. Hit Test connection before saving to see whether everything lines up; the exact error from ssh or the daemon is shown inline.
