Getting started
Install Oxidock, choose a Docker-compatible engine, and connect your first provider.
Requirements
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Operating system | macOS is the first supported release target. |
| Engine | Docker Desktop, OrbStack, Colima, Rancher Desktop, local Docker, or a remote Docker context. |
| Permissions | Oxidock needs access to the Docker socket or configured Docker context. |
First run
- Install Oxidock from the latest release.
- Start your preferred Docker-compatible engine.
- Open Oxidock and choose the detected provider.
- Confirm the dashboard can read containers, images, volumes, and networks.
- Open the CLI playground to inspect the command behind your next action.
Local-first defaults
Oxidock is designed to run locally. Your engine configuration, resource views, and command workflows stay on your machine unless you connect to services you choose, such as a remote Docker context or registry.
Example verification
docker context ls
docker ps
If those commands work in your shell, Oxidock should usually be able to use the same engine context.
