Comebye vs. Dockge
Dockge, from Uptime Kuma's creator, is a fast, free, MIT-licensed compose stack editor. Interactive compose editing, a run-command-to-compose converter, and (since 1.4) basic multi-host agents. Its own maintainers frame it for an individual operator, not team governance, which is the gap Comebye fills once you're more than one admin.
Choose Dockge if: you're a solo homelabber or single admin who wants a fast, no-nonsense compose editor and doesn't need multi-user access control. Choose Comebye if: more than one person touches the fleet and you need RBAC, SSO, audit logging, or a safe promote/rollback workflow between environments.
