Ports & browser access

Gantry makes a container's service one click away, whichever engine it runs on.

Local Docker

Published ports open directly on localhost. Use the open-in-browser button on a port in the container's Overview → Ports section, or the menu bar.

apple/container

Each container has a routable IP, so its ports are reachable directly at http://<ip>:<port> — no publishing required. The Address section shows the IP (and DNS name, if any) with one-click open chips. Gantry uses the IP for the primary open action because it always resolves; see Local DNS names to also reach it by name.

Docker over SSH

Remote ports aren't reachable from your Mac directly, so Gantry creates a local SSH port forward on demand and opens localhost:<local-port>. Active forwards are listed in the Ports section, where you can change the local port, copy the URL, or tear the forward down.
