Dockge allows you to start/stop containers and edit your compose files from a handy ui.

Pros: if something goes wrong while you’re away, it would give you a tool to restart a service or make some changes if necessary.

Cons: exposing that much control to the outside world (even behind a log in) can potentially be catastrophic for your stack if someone gets in.

    Don’t

    Also I find it easy to just write a docker compose.

      Yeah. I just forward SSH with keys only on a nonstandard port + fail2ban. Plus you can access local only services with an SSH port forward.

      That’s also why I don’t use cockpit. It looks cool, but opens up vulnerabilities for very little benefit.

      I have no issue writing a compose file. Dockge offers a bit more than that with logs and buttons for common commands which makes it easier and quicker to manage than through SSH.

      To each their own 🙂
