ContaoDock documentation

ContaoDock is a desktop workspace for bringing Contao projects into a local Docker development setup, then preparing work with existing remote servers.

The project is an early macOS prototype. Packaged installers are not published yet, and remote code deployment is still in progress. The guides describe what the current app does and call out unfinished parts.

Project source stays in its folder on your computer. ContaoDock generates an inspectable Docker Compose setup for the local web and database services. Remote profiles use SSH to check an existing writable project directory and prepare a code transfer preview.

Database and files/ synchronization are explicit workflows separate from code transfer. Each can save a target snapshot before replacement.

See support status for current limits and security boundaries for credential and data handling details.
