Docka Agent

Lightweight agent running on managed servers for monitoring and management.

What it Does

  • Metrics Collection - CPU, memory, disk, network usage
  • Container Management - Start, stop, restart containers
  • Deployments - Handle app deployments and rollbacks
  • SSH Key Sync - Manage authorized keys
  • Real-time Commands - WebSocket connection for instant response
  • Health Checks - Monitor application health

Automatic Installation

When you provision a server through Docka, the agent is installed automatically.

Manual Installation (BYOS)

For Bring Your Own Server (BYOS), install the agent manually:
