Not saying this would at all replace Harbormaster, but with DOCKER_HOST or `docker context` one can easily run docker and docker-compose commands without "ever logging in to the machine". Well, it does use SSH under the hood but this here seems more of a UX issue so there you go.
Discovering the DOCKER_HOST env var (changes the daemon socket) has made my usage of docker stuff much more powerful. Think "spawn a container on the machine with bad data" à la Bryan Cantrill at Joyent.
