Is anyone using dockge?

I used it for a bit and found it very intuitive but checking their github makes me wonder if it is still developed? Last commit was five months ago.

He announced on GitHub somewhere that he's wanting to push out the next major version of UptimeKuma first, then come back and work on dockge.

So it's not abandoned, but it's just a second priority.

The developer is still active with their other main project, Uptime Kuma. So that's good.

I use it. It meets all my needs and doesn't have and bugs/issues that I've encountered. What more are you hoping from it?

Importing list of portainer templates would be nice. And security patches every once in a while.

And security patches

Something with the power of dockge should be behind a seprate form of authentication imo.

I only access it via VPN, it's not exposed to WAN.

I'm not exposing any ports so it should be fine, right? I think about using tailscale or netbird though.

Yup. Point is; if you're not depending on just its login page to keep it secure, there's not a whole lot needing 'security patches', so I wouldn't be all that concerned about slow updates. As long as it remains bug free, I'm happy.

How can I make it more secure?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You've done enough, keeping it behind your routers firewall.

You could block LAN access and require a VPN connection to that specific machine if you really wanted more, but I'm not that concerned about it.
