I built a mobile DevOps dashboard because managing Docker from my phone shouldn't require SSH

The author built Lagoon Cockpit, a mobile DevOps dashboard to manage Docker containers without SSH, consisting of a lightweight Express.js API agent that communicates directly with the Docker Engine API via unix socket and an Expo React Native mobile app with real-time updates via SSE. The system supports multi-server management, Compose stack discovery through Docker labels, biometric lock, push notifications, and SSL monitoring. Security was a primary concern, with the API exposing zero public ports and relying on reverse proxy networks for access.
