Dockge

Use these steps to run Dockge with Docker Compose.

Create the Compose File​

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the Dockge service:

services:
  dockge:
    image: louislam/dockge:1
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "5001:5001"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./opt/stacks:/opt/stacks
    environment:
      - DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=${DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR}

Create the Environment File​

Create a .env file in the same directory as docker-compose.yml:

DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=./opt/stacks

Start Dockge​

Run Docker Compose from the directory containing both files:

docker compose up -d

Dockge will be available at http://localhost:5001.

Reverse Proxy / HTTPS​

If you need public HTTPS access, put Dockge behind a reverse proxy like Nginx Proxy Manager.
