What is it?

Arcane is a self-hosted web interface for managing Docker. It is aimed at users who want a visual dashboard for containers and Compose projects instead of working only from the command line. The project is written in Go with a SvelteKit and TypeScript frontend.

The interface covers the day-to-day Docker tasks around containers and Compose stacks. The project's documentation is hosted at getarcane.app, where setup, configuration, and development guides live. The project also publishes a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for transparency about its dependencies.

Arcane is distributed under the BSD-3-Clause license and its translations are managed through Crowdin, which suggests a multilingual interface.
