Best way to manage all my services as containers? (lemmy.ca)

What to people use and recommend for this? I've read a bit about portainer, but I'm still learning - and don't know what the best solutions are.

Today I have a handful of selfhosted services running on my home machine - mostly installed directly, but a couple running as docker containers. As the scale of my selfhosting has grown, I've realized that things would be a lot easier to manage if each service was run as its own container, so that installed services are isolated.

The solution I'm looking for would make it easy (possibly a web UI) for me to monitor, modify, update, and remove containerized services, including networking and storage.

Edit: Also I would only want a FOSS solution.

Dockhand is great. I haven't touched Portainer ever since.

Thanks, what have you liked about switching to this from portainer?

I concur with the other user: the logs are much easier to access and organized. The compact feel is much more suited to my preference.

I just recently switched from portainer to dockhand and I really like it. The UI is great and the setup and config wasn’t too complicated. I like that I can put both of my servers into one instance and can update all of my containers from dockhand vs manually. The other thing I like is being able to view the logs for my containers. Idk if it’s a me thing, but whenever I would try to view logs in portainer I would never be able to scroll up as it would update and send me back to the bottom. Again, I could’ve just been doing something wrong, but it always bothered me and I don’t have that issue with dockhand.

Uncheck auto update/refresh in top right corner

Looks nice but what kind of license is that?

That looks pretty good. Looks like Portainer is getting replaced this weekend.
