🔧 How to Install

Requirements:

Docker CE 20+ is recommended / Podman
(Docker only) Docker Compose Plugin
(Podman only) podman-docker (Debian: apt install podman-docker)
OS:
- As long as you can run Docker CE / Podman, it should be fine, but:
- Debian/Raspbian Buster or lower is not supported, please upgrade to Bullseye or higher
Arch: armv7, arm64, amd64 (a.k.a x86_64)

Basic

Default Stacks Directory: /opt/stacks
Default Port: 5001

# 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 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 change the DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR environment variable and volumes.

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)
      # ⚠️⚠️ If you did it wrong, your data could end up be written into a wrong path.
      # ✔️✔️✔️✔️ CORRECT: - /my-stacks:/my-stacks (Both paths match)
      # ❌❌❌❌ WRONG: - /docker:/my-stacks (Both paths do not match)
      - /opt/stacks:/opt/stacks
    environment:
      # Tell Dockge where is your stacks directory
      - DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/opt/stacks

How to Update

cd /opt/dockge
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

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)

If you love this project, please consider giving it a ⭐.

FAQ

"Dockge"?

"Dockge" is a coinage word which is created by myself. I hope it sounds like Dodge.

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:

Stop your stack
Move your compose file into /opt/stacks/<stackName>/compose.yaml
In Dockge, click the " Scan Stacks Folder" button in the top-right corner's dropdown menu
Now you should see your stack in the list

Others
