Arcane

Arcane is a modern Docker management application with a web UI designed to make running containers and Docker Compose stacks easier to understand and operate. It targets homelabs and teams that want a simpler alternative to CLI-only workflows while still supporting common container operations.

Key Features

• Web-based UI for managing Docker resources (containers, images, networks, and volumes)
• Docker Compose stack deployment and management
• Remote management via an agent/headless component for connecting to Docker hosts
• Designed for usability with a modern frontend and straightforward navigation
• Transparency-oriented project practices such as publishing an SBOM

Use Cases

• Managing containers and Compose stacks on a homelab server without living in the CLI
• Operating multiple Docker hosts with a consistent interface via an agent
• Day-to-day container administration for small teams needing a lightweight UI

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily focused on Docker/Compose workflows; it is not a Kubernetes orchestration platform

Arcane is a solid choice if you want a clean, modern UI for Docker operations and Compose-based deployments. It combines an accessible interface with practical features for managing real-world container setups.
