Description

What problem will this feature address?

Currently, Dokploy can only be managed through the web dashboard, which is not always convenient for users who need to monitor or manage deployments while away from their computers. Many self-hosters, developers, and administrators want the ability to quickly check service status, restart containers, view logs, or receive alerts directly from their mobile device.
A mobile app would significantly improve accessibility, responsiveness, and real-time management for users who rely on Dokploy in production or semi-production environments.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose the creation of a mobile app (iOS/Android) that connects to a user’s Dokploy instance via API/auth tokens and provides essential management features. Some potential functionality:

View server, service, and project status

Start/stop/restart deployments

Access container logs

Receive optional push notifications (deployment failures, unhealthy services, updates available)

Manage API tokens and authentication securely

Optional dark/light theme and mobile-friendly UI components

The app can be official or community-maintained, depending on the project’s goals. My intention is to build the first version myself and iterate with feedback.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using only the browser UI on mobile:
This works but is not optimized for touch interaction, has layout issues on small screens, and doesn’t support native notifications or offline caching.

Third-party generic container management tools:
These don’t integrate deeply with Dokploy’s features (apps, projects, integrated services, DNS, backups) and lack the specialized workflows users expect.

Only improving mobile responsiveness of the web interface:
While helpful, it does not enable native features like notifications, background sync, or quick-access actions.

Additional context

My goal is to expand Dokploy’s usability in everyday scenarios, especially for users who need to monitor deployments on the go. I’m happy to share UI mockups, architectural proposals, or API usage requirements if needed.
If there’s an existing or planned API roadmap, I’d appreciate guidance to align the mobile app with Dokploy’s long-term vision.

Will you send a PR to implement it?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Dokploy’s existing API and authentication-token capabilities, then clarify the target mobile platform, initial feature scope, and maintenance model; done should mean an agreed implementation plan with defined status, deployment, logs, notification, and authentication requirements.
