I'm managing Docker across four machines and would like a single, clickable overview of all my containers, including their ports and links to any available web interfaces. I currently use Portainer, but I'm looking for something that can aggregate multiple Docker hosts and preferably connect through the Docker socket. Does a tool like this exist?

Dockhand seems like the closest fit. It provides a useful overview of containers across Docker instances and can expose links to their web interfaces. It may overlap with Portainer, but it focuses more on making the different services easy to discover and access.
Dozzle is excellent for container logs and status monitoring, but it won’t automatically provide web UI links. The Docker socket can tell you about containers and published ports, but it usually can’t determine which port is actually the application’s web interface, so those links often need to be configured separately.
Homepage can do this if you’re willing to configure the services manually. You can add links for containers on multiple servers and organize them into a clean dashboard. It’s more of a customizable service portal than a Docker management tool.
Komodo is a more feature-rich solution that can manage and monitor multiple Docker hosts. It might be overkill if you only want quick links, but it gives you a centralized view and a lot more control over deployments.
Porttracker is another option worth checking out. It runs in a container and is designed specifically around displaying services and their ports with clickable links.
That makes sense. I already use Dozzle and like it, but clickable service links are the main feature I’m missing.
