I tried using this to handle my 10-ish Docker containers, but I ended up using Portainer. Sure, not the same thing, but if someone (like me) thought Cockpit might be nice for managing a small Docker host, this didn't work for me
Hey that’s pretty cool, nice to see someone paying attention to Docker Swarm (it’s nice for simple deployments, like multi-server Compose). You might want to add some screenshots to the docs though.
Portainer is pretty nice feature wise but even with lowered MTU I still get odd networking related issues (seems like the agent or whatever cannot reach the manager sometimes) but I’ve had those sorts of issues across multiple different clusters, both in cloud and on-prem with single leader setups and across both RPM and DEB only clusters. Weird stuff, otherwise perhaps the most established solution for Docker Swarm.
Yeah, I was a long time Swarmpit user, but as you said it’s abandoned, has lots of unfixed bugs, and is pretty heavy. So I set out to build something light on Go to replace it.
I love swarm! If only it wasn’t the unloved step child…
I ended up on this journey using Dockge. Inoffensive and you can stick your compose files in a directory and manage with git vs. Portainer’s attempt to hide them.
