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.

I love uptime Kuma and this looks amazing! Exactly the right level of simplicity for small home lab without any hardcore crap!
Thanks

I just heard about this yesterday...it has sped up my docker container creation and managing. Been doing mostly docker compose for everything but when troubleshooting, this is faster for me. Plus I'm only 1month into this whole docker homelab thing.

i just started getting comfortable with using cli 😁but i'm also still using portiner, i'll definitely give dockge a try later down the road

[fullgazz]

Rarely use anything beside CLI but portainer still looks better. Thanks for the vid.

[repairstudio]

Like Portainer?
I love the update being a one click button in the UI and the env. vars are great as well! 🎉

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.

[JohnWeland]

I love that it now has an agent model for running multiple instances. I am wondering if one of those agents was deployed on a Docker Swarm manager, if then you could deploy stacks on docker swarm. (I haven't tried that yet)

I am using Dockge on my Home server for a while and it’s almost perfect

For once, I can say that I've been using a software before the Home Lab tubers have talked about it

Finally

[timderks]

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/YouTuber 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?

What's more important is that Dockge supports Podman that means he can be a solution also in production environment end not just in a lab.

Tell me how you use GPT chat for practical purposes, both paid and free?

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?

[Boburto]

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.

[chrisconnell]

Big thanks. I think this is what I was searching for since portainer was too overloaded for my requirements.
I'm wondering if this projects name is pronounced 'dockedge' or like you did it it 'dock Gee Eee'. Anyone here who knows this?

[Gnanmankoudji]

It would be great to integrate it into portainer

[illegalsmirf]

It seems that managing containers is almost as complex as managing servers, and I thought containers were created to be simpler and easier to manage?

[lnk]

bla, bla, bla, WTF ? What system do you use ?? Windows, Unix, Linux, , OS ? or Free DOS ?

[greendsnow]

it's a security risk. somebody can brute force into your entire docker system by trying your password....
