Dockge

Created by the developer behind Uptime Kuma and carrying over 23,000 GitHub stars, Dockge brings the same clean, reactive design philosophy to Docker Compose stack management with a web interface that makes Portainer's compose handling feel like editing YAML in a terminal over SSH. The interactive editor provides syntax highlighting, inline validation, and a live preview of your compose.yaml files while keeping every stack stored as a standard file on disk in /opt/stacks by default, meaning you can seamlessly switch between the web UI and the docker compose CLI without lock-in or proprietary database formats. Real-time WebSocket updates stream pull progress, container start/stop transitions, and build output directly to the browser with no polling delays. The built-in web terminal opens a shell session inside any running container for quick debugging, while the docker-run-to-compose converter transforms single-container run commands into proper compose.yaml definitions with one click. Multi-agent support introduced in version 1.4.0 connects multiple Docker hosts to a single Dockge dashboard, enabling centralized management of stacks distributed across different servers. Image update detection shows which stacks have newer versions available, and one-click updates pull the latest images and recreate containers without manual intervention. The stack is a single Docker container running on Node.js with Socket.IO for reactivity and stores no external database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Benefits

  • File-Based Stack Storage
  • Compose files are stored as standard compose.yaml on disk, enabling seamless use with the Docker Compose CLI, version control, and manual editing without proprietary lock-in.
  • Real-Time Reactive Interface
  • WebSocket-driven updates stream pull progress, container transitions, and build output to the browser instantly with no polling, delivering Uptime Kuma-style responsiveness.
  • Multi-Host Agent Management
  • Connect multiple Docker hosts to a single Dockge dashboard via agents, enabling centralized stack management across distributed servers from one unified web interface.
  • Docker Run to Compose Conversion
  • Paste any docker run command and convert it into a proper compose.yaml definition with one click, simplifying migration from single-container deployments to managed stacks.

Features

  • Interactive YAML Editor
  • Edit compose.yaml files with syntax highlighting, inline validation, and live preview directly in the browser without needing an external editor.
  • Web Container Terminal
  • Open a shell session inside any running container from the web UI for quick debugging, log inspection, and command execution without SSH.
  • One-Click Image Updates
  • Detect newer Docker image versions for running stacks and update containers with a single click that pulls, recreates, and restarts services automatically.
  • Stack Lifecycle Management
  • Create, edit, start, stop, restart, and delete Docker Compose stacks through an intuitive dashboard with real-time status indicators per container.
  • Single Container Deployment
  • Runs as one Docker container on Node.js with Socket.IO and requires no external database, making installation a single docker compose up command.
