Docklet

Docklet brings a local Docker workspace to iPhone and iPad.

Start a bundled Linux VM, wait until Docker Engine is truly ready, then manage containers, images, logs and maintenance tasks from one clear control surface. Docklet keeps runtime feedback visible, so you can tell the difference between a VM that is merely booting and a Docker daemon that is actually responding.

When you need more than containers, Docklet can also run extra headless Linux VMs for sidecar services, isolated tests or compact lab environments.

Key features:

• Start and stop a bundled Docker VM with clear state feedback
• Inspect containers, logs, exposed ports and quick actions in one place
• Pull images, review cache usage and clean up unused layers
• Watch real-time terminal output for boot and diagnostic commands
• Forward local ports and open web tools inside the built-in browser
• Launch additional Linux VM profiles with visible resource limits

Docklet is designed for developers, operators and homelab users who want a compact local runtime they can monitor directly from iPhone or iPad.

Note: long-running virtualized workloads remain subject to normal iOS and iPadOS resource and lifecycle limits.
