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
I use portainer behind tail scale. Easy management anywhere and no publicly available access.
