- Easy-to-use & fancy UI
- If you love Uptime Kuma's UI/UX, you will love this one too
- Convert `docker run ...` commands into `compose.yaml`

- Dockge won't kidnap your compose files, they are stored on your drive as usual. You can interact with them using normal `docker compose` commands
## 🔧 How to Install
Requirements:
- [Docker CE](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 20+ is recommended / Podman
- (Docker only) [Docker Compose Plugin](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/)
- (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.
```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)
# ⚠️⚠️ 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
```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)
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:
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` also known as `docker-compose.yml`.
