Docker Manager — Deploying Applications in One Click
Panelica includes a built-in Docker manager with over 160 application templates. You can deploy databases, CMS platforms, monitoring tools, AI applications, and more — without writing a single Docker command.
Accessing Docker Manager
From the sidebar, click Docker Manager under the Applications section.
The top status bar shows your Docker environment at a glance: daemon status, Docker version, total containers, and disk usage.
Below that, you will find several tabs:
Deploying an Application
Go to the App Templates tab. You can browse templates by category or search by name.
Categories include databases, CMS platforms, communication tools, monitoring, AI and machine learning, development tools, and more.
To deploy an application:
After deployment, a success screen shows:
Managing Containers
The Containers tab lists all containers with:
You can filter containers by status (all, running, stopped, paused) and search by name.
Bulk actions are available at the top: Stop All, Start All, Restart All, or Delete All.
To duplicate a container with the same configuration, use the Clone option from the container's action menu.
Volumes and Persistent Data
The Volumes tab shows all Docker volumes with their size, status (in use or unused), and which containers are using them.
You can create new volumes, inspect existing ones, browse their files, or clean up unused volumes to free disk space.

Accessing Docker Manager
From the sidebar, click Docker Manager under the Applications section.
The top status bar shows your Docker environment at a glance: daemon status, Docker version, total containers, and disk usage.
Below that, you will find several tabs:
- Overview — Summary of running, stopped, and paused containers with quick stats.
- App Templates — Browse and deploy from 160+ pre-configured application templates.
- Containers — Manage all running and stopped containers.
- Images — View and manage Docker images on your server.
- Volumes — Manage persistent data volumes.
- Networks — View and manage Docker networks.
- Settings — Docker daemon configuration.
Deploying an Application
Go to the App Templates tab. You can browse templates by category or search by name.
Categories include databases, CMS platforms, communication tools, monitoring, AI and machine learning, development tools, and more.
To deploy an application:
- Find the template you want and click Deploy.
- A deployment form appears with these fields:
- Container Name — A name for your container (auto-generated from the template name).
- Port Mapping — Which ports to expose. Pre-filled based on the template.
- Environment Variables — Configuration values like database passwords, admin credentials, and API keys. Required variables are marked. Secrets are masked by default.
- Volume Mapping — Where to store persistent data on disk.
- Resource Limits — Optional CPU and memory limits for the container.
- Owner — Which user owns this container (visible to ROOT and ADMIN users).
- Click Deploy to start the container.
After deployment, a success screen shows:
- The access URL (clickable)
- Login credentials (if applicable)
- Setup instructions specific to the application
- Health status of all stack components
Managing Containers
The Containers tab lists all containers with:
- Container name and image
- Status (running, stopped, paused) as a colored badge
- Linked domain (if connected to a Panelica domain)
- Exposed ports (clickable to open in browser)
- Action buttons: Stop, Start, Restart, or Delete
You can filter containers by status (all, running, stopped, paused) and search by name.
Bulk actions are available at the top: Stop All, Start All, Restart All, or Delete All.
To duplicate a container with the same configuration, use the Clone option from the container's action menu.
Volumes and Persistent Data
The Volumes tab shows all Docker volumes with their size, status (in use or unused), and which containers are using them.
You can create new volumes, inspect existing ones, browse their files, or clean up unused volumes to free disk space.
Notes
- Each container runs in isolation with its own network and filesystem.
- Resource limits (CPU, memory) can be set per container to prevent any single application from consuming all server resources.
- Containers owned by non-ROOT users are only visible to their owner — RBAC applies to Docker as well.
