Is dockStarter a waste of time? (lemmy.ml)

Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?

I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.

I recommend Dockge over Portainer if you want a web admin panel. https://github.com/louislam/dockge

It’s basically docker compose in a website, and you can just decide one day to turn it off and use the compose files directly. No proprietary databases or other weirdness.

And it will convert a docker run command to a compare file.

And it has a beta feature where you can point it at a second server and it will manage that too.

Seconded, have been using it for a while and its simple and great!

Thirded. It's helped me a lot with picking up the compose syntax, to the point that I'm now comfortable combining disparate services into their own stacks. And I can spin something up from an example compose in less than a minute.

It doesn't seem to have the webhooks functionality that Portainer has though.

I've not used dockge so it may be great but at least for this case portainer puts all the stack (docker-compose) files on disk. It's very easy to grab them if the app is unavailable.

I use a single Portainer service to manage 5 servers, 3 local and 2 VPS. I didn't have to relearn anything beyond my management tool of choice (compose, swarm, k8s etc)
