Thank you so much for introducing Dockge to everyone. Great Video!

[jan_gerritsen]

I love that they are showing what is going on. This has always been my biggest problem with portainer, that there is no feedback.
I get it, if you run portainer in enterprise, where you are not watching the start of every container, this might be what you want.
But while experimenting to find the right compose settings, this is worth so much.

[terrynay]

I really like how you demonstrated the product before installing it. So we can decide if it is something we want to try, before sitting through the installation.

[SimionChis]

I've tried Portainer a while ago and I hated the fact that it can not manage stack deployed with "notepad". So I did not used Portainer or another tool, but this Dockge ... this is already to another level. Thank you for sharing.

I fell like i want to move all of my containers to Dockge right now.
Dockge is going straight to the simplicity of deplying containners.
Cant wait to deploy Dockge, simplicity is what i was looking for. Tks

[krshnn]

7:10 the main reason I never try to deploy containers via portainer. thanks for sharing this awesome tool!

[sloraris]

This is a game changer! Love the UI, portainer has too much going on… this feels comfortable without giving up functionality. Looking forward to deploying this in my homelab!

[Practical-IT]

This is the simple Docker manager that I've been longing for. I've used Portainer and Yacht previously and have a love-hate relationship with both of them. Dockge looks like a "just enough" project that will check all my boxes for Docker projects.

Thanks for the video!

[Rockwolf]

It’s not often something comes along that makes it into my standard compose stack. That usually has watchtower, Autoheal, uptime kuma and an edge agent. This has made the starting lineup. Louis always releases great stuff and this will be no different.

Awesome stuff Dave.

[Zefikros]

Absolute love minimalist style of Louis project. Using bootstrap too, and love this kind of strict style.

[unknown_producer]

Thank you very much! I've been using portainer but honestly I don't need all the bells and whistles. I'm definitely going to try this.

[ywurri]

I agree, better than Portainer, especially the lack of information from Portainer when installing containers. To see a timer on Dockge is great. I have been following you for a couple of years now, just after I bought my first Raspberry Pi, which is the device I installed Dockge. I hope that you will have follow-up videos for installing apps such as WordPress, NextCloud etc.

[jobasti]

Quite like it, had some problems with Portainer and not showing anything realtime really. This seems to fit more my wishes and seems to be modern in a way. Very nice video, thanks!

[vldthdrgn]

Another great video! Dockge seems to solve all the issues I've had with Portainer.

[NightHawkATL]

The best thing about Uptime Kuma is there is always something new on each update release. With that mindset, I could see it happening with Dockge as well. I would also like to see a direct correlation with Uptime Kuma and Dockge for uptime data and resource metrics. One thing I would want is the ability to store yaml files in one folder and be able to push them to the management area to deploy it later or just have a "Library" to access when needed. It looks great and I plan to deploy and test for a while to see what I think and to see what gets added over time. Awesome video as always!

[CGA]

Star given. This seems absolutely awesome, can't wait to try it out.

[thetechpastor]

Thank you for this! I just wrecked a portainer setup after an upgrade... had to actually roll back the entire docker VM... This tool looks much better...

[Taylor-ysvh]

Thank you for walking through this and exposing this nifty tool! I've been using ssh and VSCode for a while to manage my compose files and docker, which I like, more so than Portainer. I never got the hang of using Portainer, maybe being a Docker noob, still, it is quite intimidating. It to me comes across as another job application. I do like that while I use VSCode I can at least drag and drop things, for example, adding a Dockge icon to my Dashy dashboard. I suppose using VSCode helps me try and keep my compose files consistent and also consistently formatted, which I like however, Dockge blew my socks off! Dockge streamlines the entire process. I'm actually going through my 10 or so containers and removing them and redeploying them through Dockge because of this video!

[Trains-With-Shane]

This looks like a pretty cool little app. I really like how it converts a standard docker deployment string into a compose yaml file and saves it. I started out in docker deploying Docker containers through an app called Rancher back before it was so complicated. Which is kinda similar to how Portainer deploys containers. But after I discovered Docker-Compose that was paradigm altering for me. I love Portainer but a glaring problem i discovered recently was that if, for some reason, I had screwed up and lost my compose.yaml files that there was no decent way to get the information from Portainer. So I had to piece together stuff from backups. I had planned on rebuilding that host VM anyway since it was basically an old test vm that kindof ended up being a production vm so it was pretty sloppy. If i'd had Dockge running it could have spit out compose formatted yaml that I could have copy and pasted to backup files and made my life a little easier on the new VM deployment.

Another thing, and this is small potatoes but I loved it, is the way Dockge visualizes the image deployment at 7:09. I may have to spin this up just as a failsafe against my own stupidity, lol.

I've just set this up on a fresh install of ubuntu running on a VM. And WoW this is so cool and really easy to use. Thanks so much for you great guide on setting this up! keep up the good work, i love you channel.
