Descripción del creador (original en inglés)
Safety-gated AI control of Docker and Colima: containers, images, volumes, networks, Compose.
Estos tres nunca se combinan en una sola puntuación: las opiniones, las mediciones y la popularidad son cosas distintas.

Superó 1 de 1 revisiones básicas aplicables. No hemos leído el código. Antes de agregar una clave o un token, revisa qué acceso pide el servidor y usa una clave que tenga solo los permisos que necesitas.
El registro no indica ninguna clave obligatoria, aunque algunos servidores te piden iniciar sesión la primera vez que los usas.

The local Docker GUI an AI can drive, safely.
Manage containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose from a clean browser UI. Or hand the job to an AI: any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, a local LLM) drives the same tools the UI does, with the same secret masking and destructive-action grant. It works with any Docker engine on macOS and Linux (Colima, Docker Engine, OrbStack, Podman, or a remote daemon). A free, open-source Docker Desktop alternative in one ~13 MB binary that idles at 15–30 MB of RAM, with no Electron, no account, and an Apache-2.0 license.
Try it live ↗ · the full UI in your browser, mock data, no install.
Point any MCP client at Oriel and ask in plain English. It calls the same validated, secret-masked tools the UI does, and it can chain several to actually answer a question instead of firing just one:
you: why does
apikeep restarting?
assistant: *reads
container.list,container.inspect, then the logs.* It's exiting 137 (OOM): the container is capped at 256 MB and the Node heap runs past it. Raise the memory limit or fix the leak inworker.js.
oriel mcp # stdio MCP server for Claude, Cursor, or a local LLM
No model ships in the binary; your client brings its own. Reads run anytime, and destructive actions stay locked behind a grant. Setup & tool list ↓
Homebrew (macOS & Linux):
brew install ParadoxInfinite/oriel/oriel
Script (detects your platform and verifies the checksum):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ParadoxInfinite/oriel/main/install.sh | sh
Add -s -- --edge to track pre-releases (newest builds first), or -s -- --uninstall to remove it:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ParadoxInfinite/oriel/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --edge
⚠️ Piping a script to `sh` runs code from the internet on your machine. Read
install.shbefore you run it, or download a binary from releases instead.
Manual binary, Go, or source
Download a binary from releases (oriel-darwin-arm64 for Apple Silicon, oriel-darwin-amd64 for Intel, oriel-linux-arm64, or oriel-linux-amd64), then chmod +x. Or:
go install github.com/ParadoxInfinite/oriel@latest # with Go
make build # from source (builds + embeds the UI)
./oriel # opens http://127.0.0.1:4321
Flags: --port (default 4321), --no-open. Run on login: ./oriel service install (launchd / systemd; also status, uninstall).
Needs any Docker Engine–compatible runtime + the docker CLI. Colima is first-class (adds VM start/stop); Docker Engine, OrbStack, Rancher/Docker Desktop, Podman, and remote daemons also work (docs/DAEMONS.md). For remote access over a private network, see docs/REVERSE-PROXY.md; read the security note first.

It's the only one here an AI can drive directly, through the same checks the UI gives you. Reach for it over Docker Desktop / OrbStack (no paid license, bundled VM, or menu-bar app), over lazydocker (a real graphical UI, not a terminal one), or over Portainer (a binary you run for yourself, not a server to deploy and lock down).
For the full breakdown, including where Oriel loses (Windows, Kubernetes, multi-host), see the exhaustive comparison in the live demo .
oriel mcp runs Oriel as a Model Context Protocol server, so an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, a local LLM) manages your Docker/Colima in plain English, headless, with no GUI needed. Same tools, same guardrails:
container.inspect and container.logs redact secret-shaped values before they reach a model; an MCP client never gets fully-raw env or logs (the "off" setting applies only to the local UI). Log redaction is best-effort over free-form text.oriel ai allow-destructive --for 15m). Reads always work; remove/prune don't, until you say so.Point any MCP client at it. With Oriel installed:
{ "mcpServers": { "oriel": { "command": "oriel", "args": ["mcp"] } } }
Or with no install, via the published image (Linux hosts; mounts the Docker socket):
{ "mcpServers": { "oriel": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-v", "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock", "ghcr.io/paradoxinfinite/oriel"] } } }
Claude Code: claude mcp add oriel -- oriel mcp. Setup, HTTP, scoping, and the full tool list: docs/MCP.md.
The UI is a swappable plugin on a stable platform SDK: Studio (light/dark/system, custom accents). Recolor it, or drop in your own edition (see docs/THEMES.md).
Out of the box Oriel has no login, and driving Docker is effectively root on the host. An optional bearer token gates remote and MCP-over-HTTP access (off by default), but the safe default is local use, or a private network only (Tailscale, ZeroTier, WireGuard, and the like). Never the public internet. Full trust model: SECURITY.md.
Is there a GUI for Colima? Yes. Colima ships CLI-only by design, and Oriel is the browser UI it never shipped. It also drives Docker Engine, OrbStack, Podman, and remote daemons.
A free Docker Desktop alternative? Yes. Apache-2.0 licensed, no license fees, no account. Point it at any Docker-compatible engine.
Can an AI manage my containers? Yes. Run oriel mcp and point any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, a local LLM) at it. It gets the same validated, secret-masked tools as the UI, and destructive actions stay locked until you grant them.
How is it different from lazydocker? lazydocker is a terminal UI; Oriel is a graphical browser UI with dashboards, streaming logs, registry search, Compose discovery, and themeable editions.
Footprint and platforms? ~15–30 MB RAM, ~13 MB binary, no Electron. macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Linux (amd64 + arm64).
