ContaoDock wraps a project folder in a local Docker environment with a web service and database. The files stay in the developer’s workspace, while the dashboard makes the running project and its services easier to understand at a glance.

The app connects project setup, runtime status and saved remote profiles in one desktop interface. Generated Compose configuration stays inspectable, and local project details are kept separate from the project’s source files.

Database and uploads have distinct sync workflows, with a review of source, target and selected scope before replacement. A recovery snapshot is made first. The public prototype describes code deployment and promotion as work still in progress.
