I personally have switched over to Komodo after using portainer for years. Never looking back, I love it. Works perfectly and can do GUI, compose files, and repos for docker. I also have multiple machines running stuff and it let's me fiddle with everything in one UI.
Cool! What makes you prefer this to portainer?
I like the fact that there isn't a distinction between the community edition and the business edition. Its all the same thing for Komodo, whereas I felt like Portainer had a bunc hof random things locked away behind the "Business Edition" and that just rubbed me the wrong way. If I'm self hosting something, I feel like I should be able to access all portions of it.
The GUI is a little different but once you're used to it, I feel like it makes more sense for the most part. It has a nice way to connect other machines, so I can monitor all of the different machines in my network that are hosting things. I also wanted to mess around with some of the automation features, but I haven't had as much time to dick around with that as I would like. I also wanted to start doing stuff from a personal Forgejo, and it was super easy to integrate. (No idea how easy it is on Portainer, as I had already jumped ship at that point)
Sounds like a Hassel
I edited my missing line break but I'm leaving this. Its too good.
Ooo that looks nice, I'm using portainer right now, how was the migration?
Honestly, not entirely certain I did it right, but it was super easy. I literally spun up Komodo, spun down Portainer without shutting any of the other containers/stacks down, then added the same stacks back through the GUI option into Komodo with the same exact compose/title/env options. It literally just recognized that the containers that were already running on my server were the correct ones and "added" them back to the stack in Komodo. I vaguely remember reading that there is a more "correct" way to do it, but I only read about it after the fact.
