I'm a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

I used this for a bit. Can you import existing stacks yet? That was my missing feature.

If the compose.yml can be moved to a place where Dockge is configured to look, then yes. Normally it's configured to look in
/opt/stacks/
, but that can be changed. -

Dockge doesn't really work like that. It works alongside Docker, the only thing it asks is that you point it to where your stacks are located. Like I said, that normally is set to
/opt/stacks/
, but it's not set in stone. -

preserve YAML comments when reordering items
This fix is massive, lost a lot of useful info when I moved my yml files

Won't they match anyway in 99% of the cases? Since there's not really a reason to not set the path to the stack folder?

The env variable is within the compose file itself - it's fairly simple.

Yeah, I saw that, but why is it needed in the first place? Just in case the stack is in a subfolder of the path? But why even do that, if the ENV only accepts a single value anyway? I'm wondering in which cases the path differs from the DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR env var?

It's needed because that's how Dockge manages the compose files - it needs to know where your compose files live.

Let us know if you run into more snags! I'm happy to try to help out. I also revised my comment above several times last night and this morning as I was really tired and kept forgetting details
The other thing to note is the "Scan Stacks Folder" option in the drop-down menu. I haven't really needed to use it as Dockge tends to find my compose files on its own, but it's worth mentioning.

I haven't experienced this, oddly enough. Many of my compose files have comments, and they're still visible

They get deleted when you edit the configuration using the webui

Good that they made a decision, the old security features restricting which commands you could run was awful and could be bypassed by accident.

You don't need to, as long as our stack is all in one folder you just point it to that folder and it will work
-
The stack might be anywhere, mine has
DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/home/services
because that's where I keep my stack. That's the only value, there aren't 2, so not sure what you meant in the other comment with "they match 99% of the time" -
