Documentation
Everything you need to know to get the most out of DevDock.
Installation
DevDock is available as a pre-compiled binary for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Head over to the Download section of our homepage to get the latest release for your platform.
- macOS: Download the `.dmg` file, open it, and drag DevDock to your Applications folder.
- Windows: Download and run the `.exe` installer.
- Linux: Download the `.AppImage`, mark it as executable (`chmod +x`), and run it.
Quick Start Guide
Upon launching DevDock for the first time, you'll be greeted by the System Monitor dashboard. From the left sidebar, you can navigate to:
- Processes: View and manage running applications.
- Docker: Manage containers and images (requires Docker Engine running).
- Ports: Identify and free up occupied localhost ports.
- Terminal: Open built-in terminal tabs.
Docker Integration Requirements
To use the Docker dashboard in DevDock, you must have the Docker daemon running on your host machine. DevDock will automatically attempt to connect to the default Docker socket:
- macOS/Linux:
/var/run/docker.sock - Windows:
//./pipe/docker_engine
If you are using an alternative like OrbStack, DevDock will automatically detect its socket as well.
