To manage my docker containers I migrated from and to multiple tools. I started directly with Unraid with individual containers. Then I discovered docker compose and stacks. So I migrated to portainer. Splitting the postgres and mariadb databases were the worst thing in this. Then I tried dockge, so migrated from portainer to that. It lacked some portainer functionality, but was fine for a short while.

Finally I discovered Komodo and migrated to that as it’s FOSS. Now I’m only on Komodo, I have no server limit (5 on portainer), had all the functionality of portainer and more. It is my go-to docker manager and the one I recommend to everyone. The only “issue” is that you need to write the name of the stack and click confirm twice if you want to redeploy, restart, stop, destroy. Or you have to click confirm twice after saving when you edit your files. Not much of an issue and it can also protect from accidental clicks. My next step will be to migrate my stacks compose and env files from UI defined to files on the server that I can sync.

That is cool. I use dcli which is quite nice to use and easily manages dotfiles and scripts. I see you’ve added post install hooks which would allow to manage dotfiles for example.

I really like to use a declarative package manager on a different distro than NixOS. My current install is managed entirely by that tool with specific scripts that modify some config files like fstab for instance.
