  • I think a lot of it stems from ACL issues, cause I run it on a TrueNAS machine. If I pointed any other container even near it, it would do weird stuff with the permissions. I was also using docker volumes (because it wouldn’t let me hard mount the db mounts on the machine) and it would randomly seem to wipe them? That may have been more of a user error issue.

    I tried it literally as default as possible and couldn’t get the permissions working correctly, I did also try the ultra-manual install and had slightly better results, but it still stopped working randomly. I also had some random issues with networking but I got those figured out eventually.




  • I like the fact that there isn’t a distinction between the community edition and the business edition. Its all the same thing for Komodo, whereas I felt like Portainer had a bunc hof random things locked away behind the “Business Edition” and that just rubbed me the wrong way. If I’m self hosting something, I feel like I should be able to access all portions of it.

    The GUI is a little different but once you’re used to it, I feel like it makes more sense for the most part. It has a nice way to connect other machines, so I can monitor all of the different machines in my network that are hosting things. I also wanted to mess around with some of the automation features, but I haven’t had as much time to dick around with that as I would like. I also wanted to start doing stuff from a personal Forgejo, and it was super easy to integrate. (No idea how easy it is on Portainer, as I had already jumped ship at that point)


  • Honestly, not entirely certain I did it right, but it was super easy. I literally spun up Komodo, spun down Portainer without shutting any of the other containers/stacks down, then added the same stacks back through the GUI option into Komodo with the same exact compose/title/env options. It literally just recognized that the containers that were already running on my server were the correct ones and “added” them back to the stack in Komodo. I vaguely remember reading that there is a more “correct” way to do it, but I only read about it after the fact.
