## Description

ui-for-docker is a web dashboard and management interface for controlling and monitoring Docker containers. It provides a graphical alternative to the command line for visualizing the state of containerized workloads and administering Docker engines.

The interface connects to the Docker daemon via local Unix sockets or remote TCP endpoints. It utilizes TLS certificates and keys to secure communication with remote engines and supports access restriction through HTTP basic authentication via a reverse proxy.

The system operates as a stateless web frontend that translates user actions into requests sent directly to the Docker engine API.
