This is my second self-hosted project. If you still remember me, I am the one who created Uptime Kuma, and I had posted here 2 years ago.
After joining this subreddit, I somehow fell into love with this community and also started enjoying using docker-compose to manage my containers.
However, I always interacted with docker-compose using the CLI only, as I couldn’t find a web app that focuses on docker-compose management. Although Portainer has the ability to do that, it do not display any progress during “docker-compose up or pull” unfortunately, which makes me prefer to use the CLI.
So this time I tried to create my own stack-oriented manager to manage my compose.yaml files.
- Manage docker compose.yaml files
- Interactive compose.yaml editor
- Interactive web terminal
- The UI/UX is very similar to Uptime Kuma
A short introduction video: https://youtu.be/AWAlOQeNpgU?t=48
It is really fully focused on docker compose, so please don’t expect to manage a single container.
Don’t forget to ⭐ the project on GitHub if you love it!
A little update for Uptime Kuma:
Uptime Kuma reached over 40,000 ⭐ on GitHub and over 48,000,000 pulls on Docker Hub!!! It is a big gift for me, thank you everyone! Uptime Kuma V2 is still under development, stay tuned!
As a newb to docker and as someone who hasn’t fully gelled with it this looks perfect. Seems it is doing exactly what I’m trying to do in the command line with the folder structures. Perfect timing as yesterday I completely lost the plot with my docker installation!
Hope this also help you to learn the basic concept of docker compose.
It has certainly helped me get my head round docker. I don’t have to remember what folder I left that compose file in or what that command was. Because of using Dockge I now get the correlation between the command line and compose files (although I still hate languages that rely on whitespace/indenting but that’s another rant for another day lol).
I really like the clean simplicity of this (and Uptime Kuma). Couple of things I think would be handy, some shortcuts or snippets for the console, rather than having to try and remember all the prune commands etc could have some custom one click buttons to do it (or maybe chain the commands like
docker system prune -a && docker volume prune -aetc?Are you integrating Telegram with this again? Obviously we can monitor the containers with UK but I was thinking of an alert if there’s an update available if we can add some update check?
Absolutely lovely interface though, really glad this came along. Thank you!
I’m finally ‘really’ getting into Docker because of this easy-to-understand helper app.
Portainer, etc have too much going on and is wildly overkill for single instance hosts.
Basic image management/info would be a nice addition.
Great work!
Question: Once I’ve used dockge to create multiple containers the yaml is nicely organised as separate compose files in the subfolder. Is it possible to use docker compose command to recursively up -d them all at once from the shell without having to manually specify the file names? It doesn’t support wildcards afaik?
Looks really good and I moved a few of the once I have into dockge. Works great. One suggestion. Add Down and Up buttons as well. Just stopping a container does not always work when you upgrade them. All depending on volumes and configuration of the stack
Great project, I love the idea. It would be even greater if you could manage images, like in Portainer for example (My use case: deleting unused images). The same question applies to the topic of volumes. Is it possible to integrate other Docker repositories as well? For Security reason it could be nice to use 2FA or Passkeys. :)
I will eagerly follow the development.
This is cute but I have to be honest I prefer using VS code with SSH and docker plugins for managing compose files.
Amazing!
I spun it up for a try. First impressions… goodbye Portainer.
Maybe.
I’m relatively new to the Docker “scene” and this looks like a really cool and simple way to manage the containers. (Looks easier than Portainer which I think is more business orientated)
Not sure if I’m missing a feature though - I already have a folder “docker” with sub folders for each container. Each container sub-folder contains a docker-compose.yml file
Is dockge able to automatically scan, import and give the option to deploy these containers?
If so, how do I do that?
I have the dockge stacks folder to be my top-level “docker” folder
TIA
Awesome… especially the uptime kuma lile ui
Does it support podman?
This… is… awesome!
Is there any possible consideration to having nested stacks? I currently have different compose structures nested together which I like for grouping purposes and I imagine it should / might be a nice enhancement to this application.
Looks good, does it show logs like dozzle too?
Suggestion:
- Would be nice to have to option to specify a .env file instead of explicitly writing all env vars. I like to have them in a seperate file for specific containers.
- Would be nice to have a section to add labels, for us Traefik users out there.
Other than that looks great, I’ll definitely use it. Good job!!
