Containers

The Containers module runs custom runtimes, services, and desktop-enabled environments on team clusters. Containers can be created from templates or custom images and provide terminal access, files, stats, exposed ports, and VNC-style desktop sessions. They share the hardware capacity of the underlying cluster.

Listing and lifecycle

The listing shows existing containers and their running state. The lifecycle covers creation, resource and port adjustments, runtime use, and inspection of logs, processes, files, and updates.

Creating a container

The creation wizard collects: the team cluster, CPU and memory limits, environment variables, port exposure, and optional capabilities such as remote desktop support.

If no command is set and the image's own command is not used, VOLT runs an idle command so the container stays alive for later access.

Interacting with a running container

• Terminal access for shell-based work directly in the browser.
• File access for browsing and reading container content.
• Process and stats views for operational visibility.
• Port access for services routed safely through VOLT.
• Remote desktop for GUI-capable images that expose the expected VNC/XRDP setup.

Port proxying and accessible services

VOLT proxies access to containerized services through controlled sessions routed via the team cluster, providing browser entry points for dashboards, internal tools, and other services without exposing host networking directly.

Remote desktop support

For containers built with a desktop environment, VOLT can open a remote desktop session in the browser. The image and port setup must support it, and the container must be running before the UI exposes the session entry point.
