I'm new to Docker and I'm looking for a way to manage it remotely using my web browser. I'm unsure whether to use tools like Portainer, Dockge, or any other alternatives. Any recommendations for what works best?

To set this up, you'll need to be familiar with some additional tools. I suggest using dynamic DNS with a VPN like Tailscale, setting up your own DNS server for service names, and using Traefik for SSL management.
Be careful exposing any remote management tools. It might seem convenient, but from a security point of view, it can be risky. Always consider network security and access controls!
Why is it a risk if it's just within my local network?
I've been using Arcane lately for managing Docker. It’s pretty awesome! Each manager shows different information by default, so trying out a few can help you find one that fits your style.
I get that, but I'm more interested in which container management tool is best, like Dockge, Arcane, or Portainer.
