🔧 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.

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/<stackName>/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
