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.

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 🙂

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.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
