Plugin API Reference

DevDock offers a powerful IPC-based plugin system that allows you to add custom panels, interact with the local filesystem, or hook into the native Docker and Process Manager engines.

Getting Started

To create a new plugin, run the following command in your terminal:

npx create-devdock-plugin my-plugin

Core API Endpoints

devdock.docker.listContainers()

Returns a promise resolving to an array of all active and inactive Docker containers on the local machine.

devdock.process.kill(pid)

Forcefully terminates a running process by its Process ID (PID). Requires administrative privileges on some systems.

devdock.ui.registerSidebarPanel(config)

Registers a new tab in the DevDock left sidebar. You must pass a configuration object containing the icon, title, and React component to render.
