## 🔧 How to Install
Requirements:
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 20+ / Podman
- (Podman only) podman-docker (Debian: `apt install podman-docker`)
- OS:
- Major Linux distros that can run Docker/Podman such as:
- ✅ Ubuntu
- ✅ Debian (Bullseye or newer)
- ✅ Raspbian (Bullseye or newer)
- ✅ CentOS
- ✅ Fedora
- ✅ ArchLinux
- ❌ Debian/Raspbian Buster or lower is not supported
- ❌ Windows (Will be supported later)
- Arch: armv7, arm64, amd64 (a.k.a x86_64)
### Basic
- Default Stacks Directory: `/opt/stacks`
- Default Port: 5001
```
# Create directories that store your stacks and stores Dockge's stack
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 the server
docker compose up -d
# If you are using docker-compose V1 or Podman
# docker-compose up -d
```
Dockge is now running on http://localhost:5001
### Advanced
If you want to store your stacks in another directory, you can generate your compose.yaml file by using the following URL with custom query strings.
```
# Download your compose.yaml
curl "https://dockge.kuma.pet/compose.yaml?port=5001&stacksPath=/opt/stacks" --output compose.yaml
```
- port=`5001`
- stacksPath=`/opt/stacks`
Interactive compose.yaml generator is available on:
https://dockge.kuma.pet
## How to Update
```bash
cd /opt/dockge
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 don't have support for arm64, so I stepped back to Node.js)

## FAQ
#### "Dockge"?
"Dockge" is a coinage word which is created by myself. I originally hoped it sounds like `Dodge`, but apparently many people called it `Dockage`, it is also acceptable.
The naming idea came from Twitch emotes like `sadge`, `bedge` or `wokege`. They all end in `-ge`.
#### Can I manage a single container without `compose.yaml`?
The main objective of Dockge is to try to use the 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
#### Is Dockge a Portainer replacement?
Yes or no. Portainer provides a lot of Docker features. While Dockge is currently only focusing on docker-compose with a better user interface and better user experience.
If you want to manage your container with docker-compose only, the answer may be yes.
If you still need to manage something like docker networks, single containers, the answer may be no.
#### Can I install both Dockge and Portainer?
Yes, you can.
## Others
Dockge is built on top of [Compose V2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/). `compose.yaml` also known as `docker-compose.yml`.
