I also saw a post about a portainer alternative, anyone know others?
Monitor (docs.monitor.mogh.tech) (from the other site)
DockGe from the other post
Looks like it's popular, from the other post
Features are more limited, no environment variables yet I don't think
I rolled out Dockge the other week, and it's solid. It can handle environment variables, but lacks other portainer features like controlling networks, volumes, building images, etc.
One big plus is that Dockge works really well with the dockcheck.sh script for updates, where as Portainer breaks that script.
There's also Yacht.
Used it for a bit but I didn't like how you have to deploy things from templates which are basically compose files that don't look like compose files.
They're 1-1 compose files.
The app just saves them as compose files and then runs docker compose in the backend.
it is EXTREMELY barebones
I put the sample template (https://yacht.sh/docs/Templates/Templates/) into a file named docker-compose.yml and Docker said the syntax was invalid. Are you saying I can give Yacht a compose file and it's cool with it?
Ah, no not the template files for the individual containers, but the project descriptors are just compose files.
Yacht is pretty much unmaintained.
I've heard of dockge as a lightweight alternative to portainer.
There are some things that are easier to see and check in Portainer, but for pure compose handling (up, down, logs) dockge works really well.
The thing about dockge is that it’s easy to go to and from using it. It can scan existing folders for compose files, and because it uses compose files itself, you could just as easily start containers made by dockge without dockge even running.
Of course, this means it lacks some of the fancier features of something like portainer, but I personally enjoy the simplicity
I’ve been using dokemon https://github.com/productiveops/dokemon
It works well enough.
Dokemon and monitor seem to be the best alternatives in this thread so far.
