About Dockge
Dockge is built around compose files rather than individual containers. You create, edit, start, stop, restart and delete stacks, update their images, and watch the pull and up output stream in real time. An interactive editor handles the YAML, and there is a web terminal for when you need one.
The design decision that matters: Dockge will not kidnap your compose files. They stay on your drive as ordinary files in a stacks directory, so you can keep using `docker compose` commands directly and nothing is locked into its database. It also converts a `docker run ...` command into a compose file, which saves a lot of transcription.
Version 1.4 added multiple agent support, so several Docker hosts can be managed from one interface. It is from the author of Uptime Kuma and shares its interface style.
Strengths
- Compose files stay as normal files on disk, so docker compose still works alongside it
- Converts a docker run command into a compose file
- Multiple agent support for managing several Docker hosts from one interface
- Real-time progress and terminal output for pull, up and down
Limitations
- The project states Windows is not supported yet
- Debian or Raspbian Buster and older are not supported
