- If you love Uptime Kuma's UI/UX, you will love this too
- Convert `docker run ...` commands into `compose.yaml`
## 🔧 How to Install
Requirements:
- [Docker CE](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 20+ is recommended
- [Docker Compose V2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/)
- OS:
- As long as you can run Docker CE, it should be fine, but:
- Debian/Raspbian Buster or lower is not supported, please upgrade to Bullseye
- Arch: armv7, arm64, amd64 (a.k.a x86_64)
### Basic
Default stacks directory is `/opt/stacks`.
```
# Create a directory that stores your stacks and stores dockge's compose.yaml
mkdir -p /opt/stacks /opt/dockge
cd /opt/dockge
# Download the compose.yaml
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louislam/dockge/master/compose.yaml --output compose.yaml
# Start Server
docker compose up -d
# If you are using docker-compose V1
# docker-compose up -d
```
### Advanced
If you want to store your stacks in another directory, you can change the `DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR` environment variable and volumes.
For example, if you want to store your stacks in `/my-stacks`:
```yaml
version: "3.8"
services:
dockge:
image: louislam/dockge:1
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
# Host Port:Container Port
- 5001:5001
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# If you want to use private registries, you need to share the auth file with Dockge:
# - /root/.docker/:/root/.docker
# Your stacks directory in the host
# (The paths inside container must be the same as the host)
- /my-stacks:/my-stacks
environment:
# Tell Dockge where is your stacks directory
- DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/my-stacks
```
## How to Update
```bash
cd /opt/stacks
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```
## Screenshots
## Motivations
- I have been using Portainer for some time, but for the stack management, I am sometimes not satisfied with it. For example, sometimes when I try to deploy a stack, the loading icon keeps spinning for a few minutes without progress. And sometimes error messages are not clear.
- Try to develop with ES Module + TypeScript (Originally, I planned to use Deno or Bun.js, but they do not support for arm64, so I stepped back to Node.js)
If you love this project, please consider giving this project a ⭐.
## FAQ
#### "Dockge"?
"Dockge" is a coinage word which is created by myself. I hope it sounds like `Badge` but replacing with `Dock` - `Dock-ge`.
The naming idea was coming from Twitch emotes like `sadge`, `bedge` or `wokege`. They are all ending with `-ge`.
If you are not comfortable with the pronunciation, you can call it `Dockage`
#### Can I manage a single container without `compose.yaml`?
The main objective of Dockge is that try to use docker `compose.yaml` for everything. If you want to manage a single container, you can just use Portainer or Docker CLI.
#### Can I manage existing stacks?
Yes, you can. However, you need to move your compose file into the stacks directory:
1. Stop your stack
2. Move your compose file into `/opt/stacks//compose.yaml`
3. In Dockge, click the " Scan Stacks Folder" button in the top-right corner's dropdown menu
4. Now you should see your stack in the list

# Others
Dockge is built on top of [Compose V2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/). `compose.yaml` is also known as `docker-compose.yml`.
