Do you know if there’s a way to pin to a version but have dockhand tell me if there is a new latest version tagged? Not having a clean rollback method is driving me nuts.
Portainer has worked well for me but it has so much that I don’t need or use. It looks like Dockhand has a Home Assistant integration which is nice, so I’ll check that out thanks for the rec.
I really like dockge, it’s a very simple and light way to manage and update compose files. Dockhand is a fully featured editor that should have everything you’d need and more, but imo is a little trickier to use
I completely forgot portainer was a thing and I’ve used compose files for a few years. If I try anything new a unified dashboard (for managing multiple hosts) would be cool.
Definitely checkout dockhand. It gives a single dashboard for all your hosts. I primarily use it for updating containers and checking logs, but it does quite a bit more. You can even point it towards your compose files and it can edit them in with a GUI, but I haven’t played with that yet.
Another good option is Arcane. Its project structure gives you a good place to put bind mounts which you can edit the contents of in app (like configs and such). It’s pretty handy. I am in the process of switching to it from komodo for all of my stacks
Dropped portainer years ago. Managing some compose files isn’t hard, and Dockhand is better for managing updates
How do you manage updates? I’ve been relying on watchtower
I used to use watchtower. But then it killed a few services that had pre-update instructions, and I learned my lesson.
It just gives me a GUI to see when a service needs an update, and a button to perform it, then I just backup and read the update notes before I do it.

Yeah, version tags work fine. All my containers come from compose, and it follows whatever tags I declared there.
That’s my problem I mean. I want to use the tag (e.g. v8) but then be notified when v9 is out. And v8.1. I know the 8.1 would work.

Man, I didn’t even know dockhand had a HA integration, I know what I’m doing when I get home.
Very happy when I migrated over to dockhand. Fits exactly my needs for a simplistic overview of all of my containers and their resources.
How does it compare to dockage? I haven’t used either.
I dropped Portainer in favor of Dockge a few years ago. Absolutely worth it.

heck yeah!
I unfortunately can’t speak to dockage as I have only used Dockhand and Portainer.

Guess I’ve figured out how I’m going to spend my Friday evening.
