How do y’all manage all these Docker compose apps?
First I installed Jellyfin natively on Debian, which was nice because everything just worked with the normal package manager and systemd.
Then, Navidrome wasn’t in the repos, but it’s a simple Go binary and provides a systemd unit file, so that was not so bad just downloading a new binary every now and then.
Then… Immich came… and forced me to use Docker compose… :|
Now I’m looking at Frigate… and it also requires Docker compose… :|
Looking through the docs, looks like Jellyfin, Navidrome, Immich, and Frigate all require/support Docker compose…
At this point, I’m wondering if I should switch everything to Docker compose so I can keep everything straight.
But, how do folks manage this mess? Is there an analogue to apt update, apt upgrade, systemctl restart, journalctl for all these Docker compose apps? Or do I have to individually manage each app? I guess I could write a bash script… but… is this what other people do?
Strongly recommend komodo. I tried dockge and portainer but komodo was easy to install and has great features from scheduled updates and using compose files from a git repo. Also you can migrate existing apps to it without too much work
I just made the switch to Komodo last week. Komodo lxc managing 4 VMs across two proxmox hosts. Easily added all the existing servers and it just worked. I think any of these systems are probably overkill for my needs but Komodo had the nicest “fresh out the box, find the important stuff right away” feel to it. My two cents.
