Here are a couple of docker tools that would be great for the homelab. Rackula - Drag and drop rack visualizer. https://github.com/RackulaLives/Rackula If you like using docker compose for running docker containers, here a great tool for building the docker compose files and save them as templates. Dock-Dploy - A web-based tool for building, managing, and converting Docker Compose files, configuration files, and schedulers. https://github.com/hhftechnology/Dock-Dploy

Just wondering how many active docker containers you are running in your homelab. I just starting to use Dozzle and realized I have a lot of containers running daily. I currently have 77 running now with more on the way.

Anyone tried this out yet? I took it for a spin in the home lab: What’s Up Docker Keeps Your Home Lab Containers Updated Automatically #homelab #homeserver #docker https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/11/whats-up-docker-keeps-your-home-lab-containers-updated-automatically/

FYI..received this email from Portainer. "Docker has recently released Docker Engine 29.0.0, and it introduces breaking changes that are not currently compatible with Portainer 2.33 LTS or the latest STS release. This affects Docker Standalone environments using Docker Engine 29.0.0, where Portainer will likely fail to connect. For the best stability, we recommend continuing to use Docker versions listed on our official requirements page: https://docs.portainer.io/start/requirements-and-prerequisites Temporary Workaround A workaround has been identified by the community that restores connectivity by setting a minimum Docker API version on the daemon. You can find full details and setup steps here if you are impacted: Docker 29 Workaround We have confirmed in our testing this is an appropriate workaround. Our team is actively working on full support for Docker Engine 29.0.0 and its associated API changes." Just to be aware.

There are several projects out there that allow you to use graphviz to graph your docker-compose components, ports, volumes, etc: https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/08/visualize-your-docker-compose-with-mermaid-docker-compose-viz-this-weekend/
