Dropped portainer years ago. Managing some compose files isn't hard, and Dockhand is better for managing updates

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, version tags work fine. All my containers come from compose, and it follows whatever tags I declared there.
