It can be used as a repleacment of traditional VMs to provide development environment for developers in your team.

Features

1. Remote login to running containers via SSH
2. No need to run sshd in container
3. Centralized and flexible user and permission management
4. Web based user and container management

Roadmap

1. [ ] replace docker exec with docker remote API, thus we can manage containers on other hosts.
