Dockge
Lightweight, reactive Docker Compose stack manager with a live web UI.
Self-hosted Open source MIT dockercontainersself-hosting
Pricing
Free (open source).
Dockge is a focused alternative to Portainer for teams and homelabbers who just want to manage Compose stacks — edit compose.yaml live in the browser, see logs, restart services.
Key features
- Live in-browser compose.yaml editing
- Real-time container logs and status
- Very light resource footprint
- No Kubernetes scope creep
Self-hosted vs. cloud
Self-hosted only, and deliberately so — it’s a thin management layer over Docker Compose on a single host, not a platform.
Quick start
docker compose up -d # from the dockge repo's compose file
Alternatives
Portainer covers both Docker and Kubernetes if you need broader scope.
