Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn’t free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.
I’ve moved off them a while ago, but figured I’d see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?
A good time to ditch them if you haven’t, I suppose.
I used portainer only as fancy docker dashboard and to start stop services. It was buggy and even with the git implementation really frustrating to use. Also that they do not store the compose files is simply not ok.
Portainer does store compose files though? I’ve manually used docker compose commands from the folders Portainer saves them in. They’re labeled with numbers instead of project names which makes it difficult to know which one you’re looking for, but I use rga so that wasn’t as much of an issue for me as it would have been otherwise. It was tedious, but the compose files very much exist on your hard drive.
Yes i am aware,i commented on another post. The problem is that interacting with those directly messes things up. I want a panel that allows me to use cli and gui at the same time without breaking things.
Oh yeah, sorry i know. Was too lazy to type it out. They number the created compose files in numbered directories instead of naming it after the stack.
The problem is, that they do not support at all the direct modification of those files and the abstraction of numbering them instead of giving them real names is annoying when you want to start them via cli.
I love Dockge.
Have also replaced Portainer with it.
But I hate that I can’t just restart a single container easily with it.
It’s a small enough issue since most of the time I need to restart the entire compose file because of dependencies, but still.
I guess I’m complaining that it isn’t already there, but honestly I love Dockge. Won’t be going back to Portainer. Pretty much since the beginning I’ve been using compose files, and it always bugged me how Portainer handled them.
Dockge is what I’ve always wanted, tbh. Just some QoL stuff here and there, but I’m very happy with it :)
Yeah that’s usually what I do on a computer. But I didn’t have easy access to a computer, so I manage my server from my phone. So ssh is usually easier lol
The complete and utter lack of a mobile friendly interface is beyond frustrating. No android, i don’t want you to snap zoom to the search bar every fucking time i go to my stacks page!?

Dockge fully replaced portainer for my needs.

Dockge looks interesting, I gotta check that out
Just for you to known, they store the compose file. It’s in their compose folder on the data volume.

Technically true, but if you actually try to interact with those compose files directly then shit gets really fucky.

To be fair, Dockge is very, very new. I imagine features like that will turn up soon enough.
Oh most def.

Agreed. Really annoying.
You can go to the terminal tab and just run the cli command.
Not perfect, but something to avoid needing to ssh in at least.
