DweebUI

DweebUI is a lightweight web interface for managing container workloads on a host via the Docker (or Podman) socket. It focuses on simple deployment, a live-updating dashboard, and basic day-to-day container operations with multi-user access control.

Key Features

• Dynamically updating dashboard showing server metrics and container metrics
• Multi-user support with a permission system
• Container controls and common actions (start, stop, pause, restart)
• View container details and logs
• Manage Docker resources including networks, images, and volumes
• Docker Compose support for deploying and managing compose stacks
• App templates for easier installation of common services (compatible with Portainer-style templates)
• Responsive UI with light/dark mode

Use Cases

• Manage containers on a single server or homelab host without a full orchestration stack
• Give multiple users access to container operations with scoped permissions
• Monitor basic host and container metrics while performing routine container administration

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is labeled beta/experimental, and some capabilities (such as container updating) are noted as planned
• Uses access to the container runtime socket; deployment should be treated as a privileged interface and secured accordingly

DweebUI is a practical option for users who want a simple, fast container management UI with permissions and Compose support. It is designed to stay lightweight and optional alongside other container-management tools, while providing the essential controls needed for everyday administration.
