Hypervisor.io Docker Manager - One-Click App Deployments + Free Credits for Contributors

Hey LET,

We're excited to announce the general availability of Docker Manager in Hypervisor.io - our Enterprise Virtualization Control Panel.

What is it?

Docker Manager lets your end-users deploy containerized applications to their VMs with a single click. No SSH, no manual Docker setup, no compose files to wrangle. Users pick an app from the catalog, fill in a simple config form, and hit deploy.

The system injects the deployment via QEMU guest agent, spins up the containers with Docker Compose, and reports back to the panel - all without the user ever touching a terminal.

Here's the flow:

1. User opens the Docker Manager tab on their instance
2. Browses or searches the app catalog
3. Configures environment variables and ports via a clean form UI
4. Clicks deploy
5. Done. App is running.

What's in the catalog?

Right now we have categories spanning AI, analytics, automation, CMS, communication, databases, development, file storage, gaming, media, monitoring, networking, productivity, and security.

But here's the thing - we want the community to build this catalog out.

The repo

The entire app catalog is open source and community-driven:

https://github.com/ReadyDedisLLC/hypervisor.io-docker-manager/

Each app is just three files:

• app.json - metadata, environment variables schema, port mappings, resource requirements
• docker-compose.yml - the compose definition
• icon.png - 128x128 app icon

That's it. No complex framework, no proprietary tooling. If you can write a docker-compose file, you can contribute.

Free credits for contributors

We want to put our money where our mouth is. If you contribute apps to the catalog, we'll give you credits to run your infrastructure with us at ReadyDedis.

Here's the deal:

• Per accepted app PR = $5 in cloud credits
• Significant contributions (bug fixes to the deployment keeping it up-to-date, testing across distros) = credits evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but we're generous with people who help us ship better software.

Credits are applied to your ReadyDedis account and can be used for any of our cloud services.

To ensure the credits are properly distributed, please ensure the commit has your LET username attached, along with a Ticket ID referring to the PR requested.

What makes a good contribution?

• Apps people actually use (self-hosted favorites, dev tools, game servers, etc.)
• Clean docker-compose with pinned image versions
• Named volumes only (no host path binds)
• Proper environment variable definitions with sane defaults
• Tested on at least one supported distro (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Debian 11/12, Rocky 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9, CentOS Stream 9)
• restart: unless-stopped policy

Keep it minimal. One service per app directory. No reverse proxies or SSL terminators bundled in, users manage those separately.

Supported distros

Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 11, Debian 12, Rocky 8, Rocky 9, AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, CentOS Stream 9.

Why contribute?

Beyond the free credits:

• You're building a catalog that benefits everyone.
• It's a straightforward way to get involved with shaping our ecosystem.
• You get to shape what apps are available to thousands of users.

Get started

1. Fork the repo: https://github.com/ReadyDedisLLC/hypervisor.io-docker-manager/
2. Look at an existing app for reference
3. Add your app under apps/your-app-name/
4. Test your docker-compose locally
5. Submit a PR to main

We review PRs promptly and provide feedback if anything needs adjustment.

Questions? Drop them below or open an issue on the repo. We're actively monitoring both.

Looking forward to seeing what the community builds.
