As of 1.4.0 Dockge supports adding additional agents to an instance. So you can control all your compose projects across servers from a single Dockge instance.

@cybr774 5 месяцев назад

Awesome, I wasn't following closely the project, this is one of the features I was looking for. Now it's only missing GitOps functionality. If that's ever added, for me Portainer will officially be dead for managing docker🎉

All migrated and running on Dockge now. 👍 I love Update button. 👍 Build command in compose seems to work (unlike in Portainer) 🙏 It would be nice to include some basic volume/image/network management, at least Prune button 😏 🤔 For some reason my changedetection was not able to communicate with chrome-browser within the same stack until I manually added them to the same internal network (that was not needed with Portainer) But overall I am quite happy.

For everyone that has already Running Compose Stacks or want to switch from Portainer to it and every Compose Stack is grayed out and says "This stack is not managed by Dockge.", there is a simple solution for it. For me it worked that I manually created a new stack (+compose) with the same name as Dockge shows it and paste the Docker-Compose file in it and save it. After I had done this with a Stack I could Control it.

@christianlempa 5 месяцев назад

That's a bit weird, make sure you followed the stacks settings correctly.

@electric-m 5 месяцев назад

Surely u cabbies stacks in Portainer. What looks great to me in Dockge is that you can build the Yaml through the guide in guided way.

@Jonteponte71 5 месяцев назад

On big missing feature in Portainer is that you don't get to see the cli output from docker/docker-compose. Which means that when something goes wrong it will just dump an error notification without any context. This will show everything. And also, it's very clear where the docker-compose yaml files are for dockge. They are all in the same place and accessible via the filesystem.

@repairstudio4940 5 месяцев назад

@@Jonteponte71 this is looking much better than Portainer, even though I've held tight to it for some time now... It may be time to let go and embrace Dockge. :-)

@Glatze603 5 месяцев назад

Hi Christian, dockge creates projects with root privileges (see at 11:37), so if you use a folder structure in your home directory, dockge managed projects are no more accessable with your user.

@christianlempa 5 месяцев назад

@blender_wiki 5 месяцев назад

This seems very cool I’m definitely gonna check it out, I don’t know if I’m going to abandon portainer but I can see this being very helpful. I personally like to keep /edit my docker-compose.yml files on my computer and ssh them to my docker host. This way I can easily try it out on my test box once I’ve perfected it, then deploy it to my production box. I’m willing to give this a try though. Thanks for sharing. Also, what terminal are you using?

@RamiKattan 5 месяцев назад

Wow, this is a great new discovery: I have been using portainer on my homelab mini server since more than 3 years, and I have many containers running my home services, and backing up the stacks was a burden on me: every few months I used to manually go and copy the stack yml from portainer and save it in yml files on my PC for backup. This Dockage is something that will turn my containers upside down ;) This is a first step in the "Infrastructure as Code" transformation

I'll keep tabs on it. I manage everything I possibly can in compose files because it's easy to maintain and deploy, but there are some notable misses here such as support for secrets (I'm assuming. I didn't see it anywhere on the UI).

@Dwykid1 5 месяцев назад

Well it's just docker compose under the hood. The GUI doesn't recognize it but if you currently run secrets and have the compose files set accordingly, it'll work.

@christianlempa 5 месяцев назад

Secret management shouldn't be handled by the web UI, in my opinion. It's a function that should be implemented by docker or podman

@timderks5960 3 месяца назад

Quick semi-relevant question about sensitive information and the .env file: What makes storing that in the .env file safer? I could see the benefit for a streamer/RU-vidr who does a tutorial in their compose file, so it's not there right on the screen, but if you're using Dockge for your tutorial that benefit already disappears. Is there really a good reason to store sensitive info in the .env file?

@christianlempa 3 месяца назад

It's better to store the secrets outside the compose files because I'm storing them on Git, etc. The .env file is not the most ideal, but the best I have right now

@XCanG 5 месяцев назад

I kinda don't understand why you would you store docker-compose.yml files in one folder?! In my case if I have project, I using git and as I using git I also add compose file here, so that when I deploy with CI/CD I also deploy with docker and I just run that compose file from CI/CD. In cases where I didn't do CI/CD, I still git clone repository with all files including compose and I just run it from here. It also make it easy to run file and check logs since there is only one docker-compose file in active folder (otherwise you would need to pass config argument with file name)... So, it only confusing.

@Voigt_Analytics 3 месяца назад

Wenn Du mir zeigen kannst, wie ich Discourse (das Forensystem) mittels Dockge oder auch Portainer bauen und verwalten kann, dann gerne. Geht aber m.W.n. nicht, da die Entwickler ein total blödes Setup gebaut haben, was im Prinzip die Nutzer dazu zwingt eine einzige Instanz standardmäßig auf einen Server laufen zu lassen. Ich möchte Serverressourcen sinnvoller nutzen, weshalb ich mir immerhin schon die Mühe gemacht habe, auf einen Server zwei Discourse Instanzen laufen zu lassen. Das Forensystem ist einfach genial und die eierlegende Wollmichsau unter den Open Source Projekten. Doch die Verwaltung und das deployen neuer Instanzen ist ein Graus.

@Boburto 5 месяцев назад

Is there a button to update all running containers? I really hate that you have to use so many steps in portainer (I don’t want to use watchtower). Although a bit concerning that “delete” deletes all files that are mapped into the container, this doesn’t sound correct.

@Bver69 5 месяцев назад

Portainer is more featureful but there is too much clicking around for simple things. I end up opening several tabs for a single stack to edit, see the logs, and use the terminal. You also can’t see what Portainer is doing when you’re starting a new stack and it’s pulling images for example. It just “spins” and eventually either works or spits out a temporary notification pop up which the whole error doesn’t always fit it. Dockge lets you do most of that in a single screen without jumping around.

@@christianlempa Yes they are designed for developers who know nothing about servers (or who want to know nothing about servers). For ad hoc development they are indeed easier than setting up a server. But for any devop or admin tasked to administer production containers, the level of complexity is insane to the point where with Kubernetes clustering and monitoring it's indistinguishable from the expense and complexity of server admin. I see a lot of people using containers as replacements for servers or other purposes in an appropriate way e.g. having 22 instances of an application instead of one instance with 22 users.
