Requirements

Docker

  • Docker Version 25+
  • Docker Compose Version 2.27+ (optional)

Warning

Starting with version v0.6.472, the internal Docker service has been updated to version 29. This means that if your host has a Docker service older than version 29 installed, you must add an extra environment variable to ensure that Dockwatch can connect to the host.

Permissions

Info

Dockwatch must be able to run Docker commands to function. This typically requires access to the Docker socket (docker.sock); alternatively, you can use a socket proxy.

Get the group id that Docker uses with the following command:

grep docker /etc/group

Get the user id from the user you want to run Dockwatch as with the following command:

id -u <username>
