⁠GridDock — Local Container Dashboard

A sleek, resizable grid dashboard for managing local container web UIs. All tile positions and sizes persist in SQLite.

⁠Features

• Add tiles — paste any URL, optionally give it a label
• Resize tiles — drag the corner handle; neighbors reflow automatically
• Remove tiles — one-click ×
• Rename tiles — pencil icon in the header
• Background image — upload any JPG/PNG/WebP via the 📷 toolbar button
• Persistent — SQLite database survives restarts

⁠Quick Start

⁠With Docker Compose (recommended)

docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000⁠

⁠Local dev (Node 18+)

npm install
npm start          # or: npm run dev (with auto-reload)

⁠Accessing other containers

If your other containers expose ports on the host, use http://localhost:PORT or http://host.docker.internal:PORT (see the commented extra_hosts in docker-compose.yml).

For containers on the same Docker network, use the service name: http://myservice:PORT.

⁠Ports & volumes

Override the port by changing 3000:3000 in docker-compose.yml.

⁠Tech stack

• Backend — Node.js + Express + better-sqlite3
• Frontend — Vanilla JS, CSS Grid, no framework needed
• Persistence — SQLite (single file, zero config)
