Features04 Volumes & networks

Your data and your wiring, in plain sight.

Look inside a volume and change what is in it, back it up by hand or on a schedule, and restore it from your own backups. Create networks, see who is attached, and find every published port on one page.

What you can do

Create by hand

Make a volume or a network without writing a compose file.

Look inside a volume

Browse its files, edit a text file, upload, rename or remove, and download a single file. Browsing itself stays read-only.

Back up and restore

A volume to a .tar archive, and back again. Restore picks from the backups the app made, and can stop the containers on the volume while it works.

Backups on a schedule

Every day or every week, into a folder you choose, keeping the newest seven. A clock in the list shows how the last one went.

Copy a volume

Into a new volume, with owners and permissions kept.

Remove and prune

Clear out what nothing uses any more.

Networks, advanced when you need it

Create a network, with subnet and gateway under Advanced.

Who is on a network

See the attached containers, and connect or disconnect one.

All ports on one page

Every published port with its address, searchable, including the ones that went missing.

Ports

Which container is on port 3000?

The Ports page, under Networks, lists every published port with its address and container. Search for a port number and you have the answer.
