Docker App Starter
2025-02 - 2025-12
The purpose of this app is to create nicely looking startup windows from shortcuts for docker apps.
How to use
You can use this app in 2 way, using startup args or json file.
In both cases you need to create a shortcut to the DockerAppStarter executable.
Startup args
As for now, following arguments are supported:
| Argument | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -s | Stack | This argument is optional. This is stack of your services. |
| -sv | Service | Single service within stack. |
| -i | Image | Image that will be shown in the starter window. |
| -d | Dependency | The name of the service within same stack that main service depends upon. |
Json file
You can create json file and reference it by -f startup argument, like this:
-f C:\Absolute\Path\To\File.json
