Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?
I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.
It’s basically docker compose in a website, and you can just decide one day to turn it off and use the compose files directly. No proprietary databases or other weirdness.
It also works in the “other” direction- if you’re already using compose files, you can point dockge to their existing location (stacks directory) and it will scan and pick them up!
That’s the one I use exactly because of that. I know compose, not going to learn another program to do the same, just want something that gives me an easier way to edit them than sshing into my box and using an editor.

I recommend Dockge over Portainer if you want a web admin panel. https://github.com/louislam/dockge

It doesn’t seem to have the webhooks functionality that Portainer has though.
