Docker Fleet Plugin
Fleet-wide Docker management with AI diagnostics and auto-discovery.
Overview
The Docker Fleet plugin gives you a single view of every Docker container across your entire infrastructure. Auto-discover Docker hosts through the bastion — no manual IP entry. See container status, CPU and memory usage, Compose stacks, and image vulnerabilities in one dashboard. When something breaks, CommanderQ analyses logs, correlates events across hosts, and draws on past incident memory to speed up troubleshooting.
Setup
1. Ensure Docker hosts are accessible
Docker Fleet discovers hosts through the bastion SSH gateway. Ensure:
- Docker is installed and running on target hosts
- The bastion user has SSH access to each host
- Docker commands are available to the SSH user (add to
dockergroup or use rootless Docker)
2. Activate the plugin
Go to Settings > Plugins in QuoxCORE and activate Docker Fleet. The plugin auto-discovers Docker hosts on first load.
3. Auto-discovery
The plugin scans your fleet via bastion SSH and finds all hosts running Docker. No manual IP entry needed. Hosts appear in the dashboard within seconds.
Features
Fleet Auto-Discovery
Automatically find all Docker hosts in your fleet via bastion SSH. The scanner checks registered hosts for Docker availability and adds them to the fleet view. Re-scan on demand or let it run on a schedule.
Unified Container View
Every container across every host in one table:
- Container name, image, status, and uptime
- Real-time CPU and memory usage
- Port mappings and network assignments
- Host grouping for multi-host awareness
- Filter by host, status, or search by name
Container Lifecycle Management
Start, stop, restart, and inspect containers from the dashboard:
| Action | Safety Level | Approval |
|---|---|---|
| List / inspect | GREEN | No |
| Start / restart | AMBER | No |
| Stop | AMBER | Yes |
| Remove | RED | Yes |
Compose Stack Management
Manage Docker Compose stacks fleet-wide:
- List all Compose projects per host
- View service status within each stack
- Deploy, update, and bring down stacks
- Detect drift between running state and compose files
AI Diagnostics
CommanderQ's DOCKER specialist agent provides:
- Log analysis — parse container logs for errors and warnings
- Cross-host correlation — connect events across multiple hosts
- Incident memory — remember past issues and their resolutions
- Natural language queries — "Why did the collector restart?" or "Which containers are using the most memory?"
Image Security Scanning
Scan container images for known vulnerabilities:
- Trivy-powered CVE scanning
- Prioritised vulnerability reports
- Fix recommendations with upgrade paths
- Per-image risk assessment
Network Topology
Visualise container networks across hosts:
- See which containers can communicate
- Identify isolated services
- Bridge and overlay network mapping
Live Event Stream
Real-time Docker daemon events across the fleet:
- Container start/stop/restart/die events
- Image pull/push/delete events
- AI-powered annotation of unusual patterns
- Cross-host event correlation
System Disk Usage
Monitor Docker disk usage per host:
- Image layer sizes
- Container writable layers
- Volume usage
- Build cache
Safety
The Docker Fleet plugin uses the standard QuoxCORE safety system:
| Action | Level | Approval |
|---|---|---|
| List containers, images, networks | GREEN | No |
| Start, restart containers | AMBER | No |
| Stop containers | AMBER | Yes |
| Remove containers | RED | Yes |
| Compose down | RED | Yes |
| Image prune | RED | Yes |
| Volume prune | RED | Yes |
Kill switch enabled. AEE audit trail for all operations.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | Hosts |
