Container Manager listing containers with status and actions
Product surface

Everything end users need to run apps

Manage containers

Start, stop, restart, delete. View logs and live stats. Open ports modal and run diagnostic commands via exec when available.

Compose projects

Define multi-service stacks with visual or YAML editing. Deploy, stop, recreate, and delete projects as a unit.

App catalog

Launch from curated templates that seed compose with images, ports, and volume suggestions—then customize secrets before go-live.

Volumes

Named volumes and bind mounts so databases and uploads survive container recreation.

Registries

Docker Hub and private registry credentials with connectivity tests for private image pulls.

Port Manager

Host port pool allocation plus domain/path reverse proxies (HTTP/HTTPS) for clean public URLs.

Built for shared hosting realities

  • Runs under the account user (rootless)
  • Respects cGroup packages assigned to the user
  • Works with SimuzoFS isolation when enabled
  • Admin kill-switch and per-user / global container caps
  • Background tasks for long deploys

FAQ

Common questions

Are containers rootless?

Yes. Container Manager is built on rootless Podman so end users do not receive host root privileges.

How do customers publish apps on a domain?

Simuzo allocates host ports from a pool and can reverse-proxy a domain and path to the container port—users do not bind privileged ports 80/443 directly.

Can admins cap container counts?

Yes. Settings include max containers per user and a server-wide total, plus a global disable switch for Podman.

Ready to secure your hosting nodes?

Install Simuzo on your panel server, enable isolation and limits, and give users a safer multi-tenant environment.
