I'm new to Docker and I'm currently facing issues with Portainer. It seems to be having compatibility problems and the support isn't great. Right now, my containers are functioning, but I can't update them as I can't access my stacks. I'm running Ubuntu Server. Can anyone suggest more stable alternatives to Portainer? Any advice would be super helpful. Thanks!

One option is to roll back to a previous version of Portainer if you're having issues with the latest one. It can sometimes help if the current update is causing compatibility problems. Just make sure your data is backed up before trying that!
Rolling back might not always work. Definitely check your setup and any dependencies involved.
Honestly, I've been using Portainer for years without any major issues. If you're struggling, it might be worth checking your system configuration or even looking into your data storage method. Also, alternatives like Dockge are quite popular; they’re lighter and might suit your needs better. A quick search online could help you find a list of alternatives too!
Dockge looks interesting! But I'm not sure how to set it up as a beginner.
If you're running into issues with the app showing containers as active when they're not, maybe it’s time to ditch Portainer and explore other options like Podman or even manage Docker with command lines. There are tools available out there that might fit your workflow better!
Have you considered just using Docker directly for your updates? You'd lose the graphical interface, but it might solve your access issues. Alternatives to look into include Komodo and dockcheck, which might give you the functionality you need without Portainer's glitches.
But if I use Docker directly, would I need to remember all my original settings for each container?
Yes, you'd have to manage configurations manually, but that also provides more control.
I tried downgrading myself but encountered a 502 error. Not sure what to do next.
