Dockge allows you to start/stop containers and edit your compose files from a handy ui.
Pros: if something goes wrong while you’re away, it would give you a tool to restart a service or make some changes if necessary.
Cons: exposing that much control to the outside world (even behind a log in) can potentially be catastrophic for your stack if someone gets in.
I wouldn’t trust anything like that to the open internet. It would be better to access the system over a VPN when you’re outside the network.
I could see that, but I would also have to ask ‘what exactly do we gain by having access to these tools when we aren’t home?’
I used to try to do all of that but I started to realize, I spend too much time dealing with broken shit. Coming to the mindset of if I’m not home and it doesn’t work then oh well has been one hell of a stress relief for me
It would mean you’re entrusting the entire security of your network to Dockge’s authentication system.
… and for that reason, I’m out.
Use wireguard
I use portainer behind tail scale. Easy management anywhere and no publicly available access.
Indeed, tailscale/wireguard/zerotier are excellent options to keep only the bare minimum (or even nothing!) exposed to the world.
I have my portainer behind an oath proxy, using keycloak as the Auth provider
I’ll take “big red flags” for $1000
Should be fine I have never used it in a man. I think it would be difficult to use it in a man with all the blood and other stuff.
Don’t
Also I find it easy to just write a docker compose.
