Develop in clones of your production environment

A dev and staging environment in one

Dockside lets dev teams code from anywhere in clones of their production environment and share and stage their work online for stakeholders.

Work online from anywhere

Dockside makes working from anywhere from your browser a breeze, thanks to the incredible Eclipse Theia online IDE, featuring professional UI, complete with syntax highlighting, terminals and support for VS Code extensions.

Launch a clone for each task or fork

Spin up a dev environment (or 'devtainer') in seconds. Launch one for each task, from your preprepared profiles. Switch between multiple tasks, just as you switch between browser tabs. If you mess up, just start afresh.

Share work with stakeholders instantly

Stage any devtainer, either privately or on the public internet, for review, sign-off or testing, by colleagues, clients or management. Access secured by HTTPS.

Eliminate errors, deploy confidently

Eliminate whole classes of error arising from production environment differences. Develop with confidence: if your code runs in your devtainer, then it runs in production.

Safe and powerful

For power users, Dockside provides devtainers with access to underlying system resources and alternative runtimes and architectures, while locking down access for other users through a role-based access control scheme.

Low footprint

Dockside’s resource requirements are minimal. Proven to support large numbers of devtainers on relatively small servers, VMs or cloud instances.

Commercial-friendly open-source licence

Free and open-source under the Apache 2.0 licence: so suitable for use in bespoke commercial environments. Self-host locally, on-prem or in the cloud.
