💡 Feature Request: Integrated File Explorer for Easy Container and Volume File Management

[louanfontenele]

Would it be possible to implement a built-in File Explorer within DokPloy to facilitate file access inside Docker containers?

Currently, modifying files inside a running container requires either:

• Accessing the VPS via SSH and manually navigating the container file system, or
• Using docker exec commands, which can be cumbersome for frequent changes.

This feature would provide a visual, user-friendly interface that allows users to:
✅ Browse container files in a structured way, similar to a file manager.
✅ Edit files directly within the UI without needing to access the VPS.
✅ Upload, download, delete, or modify files within both containers and volumes.
✅ Improve workflow efficiency by reducing reliance on command-line operations.

This would make managing containerized applications significantly easier, especially for users who want quick edits without logging into a remote server.

Yes i would also see this as an essential feature, because sometimes you need to look at the container files to see review and edit some files.

I also think this is a necessary feature, and I raised an issue for this

This is the most necessary feature today for Dokploy, Managing volume data with a file browser from the dashboard would be amazing.

I'd also add database management like edit passwords, users and tables when managing a Dokploy database service.
