Dockge is a self-hosted, lightweight Docker Compose management tool with a clean web UI. It makes it easy to create, start, stop, and monitor your Docker Compose stacks.

Prerequisites

  • Docker installed and running
  • Docker Compose installed (v2+)
  • A server or local machine to run Dockge

Install Using Docker

Quick Start

Download the compose file:

curl -o compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/syvixor/containers/refs/heads/main/dockge/compose.yaml

Start it with:

docker compose up -d

Access the Web UI

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000

On first launch, Dockge will ask you to create an admin account.

Tips

  • Port mapping: Change 5000 to a different port if it's already in use.
  • Updates: Pull the new image and recreate the container to update Dockge.
  • Stacks directory: Compose files are stored in /opt/stacks on the host.
