I tried Arcane for Docker management, and here's why Dockhand remains my pick
The author, a Docker user for self-hosted services, has tried various management tools to simplify container management. While Arcane offers a visually appealing interface and useful features like container updates and pruning, it didn't replace the author's preferred tool. Dockhand remains the author's top choice due to its balance of functionality and usability.
- ▪The author transitioned from using the Docker terminal to Portainer for a visual interface.
- ▪Portainer eventually felt cumbersome, leading the author to adopt Dockhand for Docker management.
- ▪Arcane is a feature-rich Docker management tool with an attractive UI and support for updates and pruning.
- ▪Despite Arcane's strengths, the author finds Dockhand better suited to their workflow and preferences.
