Manage your Dokploy deployments, containers, and logs directly from VS Code. Browse all your services in the sidebar, stream live logs in a dedicated tab, and trigger deploys with one click.

Features

Browse projects, environments, compose services, applications, databases, and containers — all in one place. Status icons show what's running, what's idle, and what's broken.

Live Log Streaming

Container logs and deployment build logs stream into dedicated tabs (not buried in an output channel). Each log viewer has:

  • Search — filter lines in real time
  • Errors-only filter — focus on what matters
  • Action buttons — restart, stop, start, redeploy without leaving the tab
  • Auto-scroll — disables automatically when you scroll up
  • Color coding — errors in red, warnings in yellow, timestamps dimmed
  • System messages — actions are logged inline so you see what happened

Multi-Server Support

Connect to multiple Dokploy instances (production, staging, etc.) and switch between them from the status bar. API keys are stored securely in VS Code's SecretStorage — never in plain text.

Quick Actions

Deploy, redeploy, stop, start, restart, view logs, view build logs, open in panel, copy ID — all from inline buttons or right-click menus.

Smart Notifications

Deploy progress is shown with a self-dismissing spinner that polls the deployment status and reports success or failure when actually finished — no stale "Deploying..." notifications hanging around.

Quick Start

  1. Install the extension from the marketplace
  2. Open the Dokploy icon in the Activity Bar (left sidebar)
  3. Click Add Connection
  4. Enter:
    • Name — friendly label (e.g. production)
    • URL — your Dokploy panel URL (e.g. https://panel.example.com)
    • API Key — from Dokploy Settings → API

The extension validates the connection and you're ready to go. Add more connections any time and switch via the status bar.

All commands are available via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):

Command Description
Dokploy: Add Connection Add a new Dokploy server

Requirements

  • API keys are stored in VS Code's SecretStorage, never in plain settings files
  • All communication goes directly to your Dokploy instance — no third-party servers
  • The extension makes no telemetry calls
