Comment on Proxmox with arr
lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoIMO, Dockge is a far cleaner and easier solution for managing Docker containers than Portainer. Plus, Dockge doesn’t bury your compose files deep inside nested directories that only allows its own container to access…like Portainer does.

Yeah I looked into dockge and I really like it, but I still went with portainer because it manages volumes directly rather than having to mount it manually and modify fstab.
I have to admit I don’t really understand the philosophy or value proposition of portainer as it relates specifically to homelabs, because I don’t really understand the value of VMs or LXCs except as last resorts (when you can’t make an application container, since defining applications declaratively almost always better).
Almost everything I want to host, and I see people talking about hosting in their homelabs, are stacks of applications, which makes something like docker compose perfect for purpose.
When I saw proxmox supported OCI containers, I was hopeful it’d provide a nice way to deploy a stack of OCI containers, but it didn’t. And in fact, some volume mounting features (that I wanted) could only be accessed by CLI.
