# Dockge
|
||||
To manage our containers, we'll rely on docker compose and use `Dockge` to manage those composes or "stacks".
|
||||
Dockge is lightweight, doesn't use any databases and relies solely on compose.yaml files.
|
||||
This gives me the opportunity to better learn to design and understand Docker components without abstracting them away.
|
||||
It also stores all compose files locally in plaintext which helps if I ever want to migrate away from Dockge.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
We'll create a dedicated folder for Dockge inside our directory dedicated to Docker containers:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p /opt/appdata/dockge
|
||||
cd /opt/appdata/dockge
|
||||
```
|
||||
Next we'll define its compose.yaml file.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano compose.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
And paste the following into it:
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
services:
|
||||
dockge:
|
||||
image: louislam/dockge:1
|
||||
container_name: dockge
|
||||
restart: unless-stopped
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "5001:5001"
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
|
||||
- /opt/appdata/dockge/data:/app/data
|
||||
- /opt/appdata:/opt/appdata # Mount our directory for Docker containers data
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
# Where to create our stacks
|
||||
- DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/opt/appdata
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, we start Dockge (in detached mode):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
From now on, this should be about the only time we'll directly use `docker compose` in the CLI.
