Komodo is the best portainer alt I’ve found, I read through the Arcane info but it doesnt seem as good. Komodos editor also works great.

switched from portainer to arcane recently. much easier on the eyes and the ability to save compose projects without deploying them yet is exactly what i was looking for. one thing is weird and i should prolly make an issue for it: no horizontal scroll or word wrap function in the compose editor, so for those compose files with extensive comments like npmplus you’ll have to have open in a text editor or webpage to read to the end of lines.

I’m just waiting for something like this with native podman support

man, arcane looks amazing, I ended up deciding off it though as their pull requests look like they use copilot for the main production of code for new features. Not that I personally have an issue with this but, I’ve seen enough issues where copilot or various AI agents add security vulnerabilities by mistake and they aren’t caught, so I would rather stray away from those types of projects at least until that issue becomes less common/frequent.
For something as detrimental as a management console to a program that runs as root on base systems, I would not want such a program having security vulnerabilities.

I wouldn’t be exposing any management consoles to the internet either way, too much risk with something that has docker socket access.

fully agree, mine isnt accessible to the outside world either but, you never know if something gets missed. would rather not open up that risk

Does it have to run as root? It’s common to run Docker in rootless mode in production environments.
Pika@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
while docker does have a non-root installer, the default installer for docker is docker as root, containers as non-root, but since in order to manage docker as a whole it would need access to the socket, if docker has root the container by extension has root.
So if docker was installed in a root-less environment then a compromised manager container would only compromise everything on that docker system, which still isn’t great but not as bad full root access.

I switched from Portainer to Dockge to Komodo. Been very happy with komodo so far

Sadly no recommendations, I still use portainer myself
