Updated dockge functionality

[hamphh]

Hello everyone, I was looking for an alternative to Portainer and came across the promising Dockge. Since I was missing some features, I extended the code in my fork https://github.com/hamphh/dockge/tree/master Quite a few changes accumulated, so I haven’t created a pull request yet. I made the following changes:

Changes

Please take a look at the release notes.

Try it

You can use the corresponding Docker image by replacing louislam/dockge with hamphh/dockge in your dockge compose file. Make a backup of your dockge data folder beforehand or use a different data folder, because the image adjusts the database. At the moment, the image only includes the linux/amd64 and linux/arm/v7 platforms. I can add additional platforms if necessary.

[GameAreaCZ]

LOVE IT! Thank you very much. You've just made the dockge much better!

[SP3NGL3R]

COOL!!! Are the database/configs interchangeable still? So if I swapped over to this could I go back to stock at will?

[hamphh]

Unfortunately not. For the "friendly agent name"-feature, a column "name" was added to the agent table. When activating the stock version again the used DB management tool Knex complains, that the corresponding migration file is missing. The stock version will work, but future DB changes are probably no longer carried out (I am not familiar with Knex, Maybe there es a better way to add the column).
Therefor you should make a backup of your dockge data folder before activating my image, and restore the backup before returning to the stock version.

[SP3NGL3R]

Which I would do anyway ;). I'll definitely check this out later. Cheers.

ANNND I just have. It's fantastic. Such small changes make it so much more flexible. Truly ... CHEERS!!!

This looks very awesome! Do you intent to create PRs in the future or do you just "maintain" your own fork?

Little Feature-Request for your "update feature":
In WUD it is possible to set update urls for changelogs by putting labels to different containers: https://getwud.github.io/wud/#/configuration/watchers/?id=labels

this helps alot to decide if an update is needed or wanted. I use this heavily before updating containers. Maybe you are also interested in this 🔥

[hamphh]

@WhiteSockedDancer: If @LuisLam continues to maintain Dockge, I’ll be happy to create PRs. And thanks for your suggestion regarding the update labels.

I am planning to implement the following enhancements in the next days/weeks:

• Indicate in the stack list and the dashboard when containers are unhealthy
• Merge PR Add resource usage stats to the compose page #700 with some enhancements for the dashboard
• Add a dialog for update notifications with the ability to:
  • Show a link to the changelog (link provided via a service label)
  • Ignore this update, so that the notification will not be shown again until the next update

[BenRoe]

Definitely will try your for and great that you plan to merge some other useful features.
This PR #827 is simple but also very useful. It adds a Fullscreen button for the code editor.

[Ripmax]

This is brilliant! Exactly what I was after. I am now using your image. Thank you!!

[deanfourie1]

Sorry how do I use this? Is there a different image I need to pull?

@hamphh
Any chance you could include the One-time Execution Container fix?

[WhiteSockedDancer]

It seems this discussion is now crowding with feature requests that people want to get included. xD

Maybe we should get in contact with @louislam and don't discuss feature implementations for a fork in this repo? ^^

[ijpatricio]

Thank you @hamphh , great eye for missing UX.

@louislam I'm so sorry to ask, I hope I won't be misunderstood, I mean well. It seems the software issues/prs are getting a little slow/behind. Is it stopping to be maintained??

I sure hope not, It's the best, simple and easy to use dashboard, and believe me, I've tried more than 30, contributed to 1, and finally landed here! I actually didn't try it before because it seemed I would have to boot it as root user, but in fact, we don't have to.

I sure think there's space to grow a little, like Agent (scheduled taks, long tasks, more nodes, etc) and Templates

So that's why I'm asking, I'm not demanding anything!

[loswochos]

@hamphh Thanks for the fork! It's good to see that the project is continuing.

This PR would be also a great enhancement.: #687

[MissingDLL]

Currently using your container, until this is merged, love the adaptions you made. Some hover explanations would be great. For me no stats are shown, where do i need to go to see them?
I do agree, that i would love to see some features like wud or watchtower so i can set notifications if a newer image is available and for non critical images to just perform the update

[hamphh]

Update available

You could probably allow issues on your fork.

When does the image check happens/get updated? If i use "Update stack" on top i still have the update notifications on my stacks and containers:
This is a screenshot after i updated all of the stacks.

First of all: I am absolutely loving this ! I love dockge and was waiting for exactly the improvements you added for a long time. The only problem I have is that in yone of my machines a Synology DS223 I cannot install it because the platform linux/arm64/v8 ist not yet supported. Any chance you can add this ?

[hamphh]

I have built an arm64 image and uploaded it to Docker Hub. You can use it via "hamphh/dockge:latest-arm64". Please give it a try. If everything works, I will integrate the arm64 platform into the multi-platform image with the next release.

[hermannx5]

Works perfectly, thanks !

[hermannx5]

(Hopefully) small feature request: Would it be possible to also add a custom name to the "main" instance ? Or if that is not possible, maybe the name could be changed to "local" or something similar. I find "current" not too intuitive - but I realize that's a very minor nitpick :)

This is part of the next update, which I will probably publish in the next few days

[finder39]

Amazing work! Using this on both my main and my agent based computers. Hoping this gets merged in soon! :)

[AussiSG]

Do you by any chance have added the feature to auto prune the updated containers?

[hamphh]

It's an option in the update dialog of the new release

[hamphh]

Update available

The new update is out — please check the release notes for details.

I’ve also enabled issues on my fork, so feel free to report any bugs or problems there.

[guppy42]

With dockge getting a new maintainer, will we see a PR soon? :)
