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 docker group 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:

StopAMBERYes

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

The Docker Fleet plugin uses the standard QuoxCORE safety system:
