Container Management

Qbee deploys and orchestrates containers across your fleet using desired-state configuration. You define which containers should run on which devices, the agent converges to match, and the platform reports inventory and status back. Containers that exit are automatically restarted.

How It Works

The agent manages containers as part of its normal convergence cycle. On each poll, it reconciles the running containers against the desired state you committed in the console. If a container is missing or has drifted, the agent recreates or restarts it. Inventory data, including image, status, and uptime, is reported back and visible in the device inventory tab.

Supported Runtimes

For a more advanced scenario combining Docker Compose with secrets and templated configuration files, see Multi-Service Stack with Secrets.
