Flying Whales

Yet another Docker GUI

A simple Docker Web GUI to download service logs, kill and restart Docker Swarm services. Made with Python 3.6, Flask, Docker-Py and Materialize. Requires Docker and Docker Compose.

Features

• List all running Docker Services.
• Download the service logs starting from a certain date.
• Displays a short snippet (50 lines) of the logs in the browser, without the need of downloading the full log file.
• Kill and restart containers (only allowed users).
• LDAP for authentication by default (see FAQs)

Install

1. Clone this repo where your Docker host is.
2. Copy/Rename config.example.ini to config.ini and add the values to all variables.
3. Copy/Rename auth_users.example.py to auth_users.py and add the list of usernames with permissions to restart and kill services.
4. Run docker-compose up

Optional

Check docker-compose.yml for some optional extra configuration:

• Replace 8080 for the port where you want to publish the webapp.
• Replace ./logs (on the left) with the folder where the logfiles will be written and pre processed before serving them. This could be replaced with /tmp or any temporal folder.
• If your docker.sock isn't on the default location, replace /var/run/docker.sock with the actual location.

FAQs

Why the name?

Based on a song by Gojira with the same name. Docker's logo is a whale, services are on the cloud... flying... It made sense when I came up with it.

Why LDAP?

I wrote this while working on a company that used LDAP for authentication, but it could be easily swapped out with something else.

Can I use it with regular Containers?

Sure, but it requires some minor Docker-Py call changes. Open an issue if needed.
