Arcane is a modern, open-source Docker management platform crafted to simplify container orchestration and service operations with an intuitive interface and broad tooling support. Aimed at developers, sysadmins, and self-hosters alike, Arcane combines both graphical and command-line experiences for discovering, launching, and managing containers, images, networks, and volumes across local and remote environments. It emphasizes usability and accessibility, making it less intimidating than traditional tools like Portainer while still powerful enough for real-world usage, including logs, metrics, and console access for individual containers. The project integrates frontend and backend components that work together to provide a cohesive environment management experience, often packaged to run alongside Docker and Docker Compose setups with minimal configuration.
