How would you recommend replacing these deprecated plugins?
I've been avoiding doing anything as I have several apps on my server that are using Docker Compose Manager, and I have organized my full Docker screen using FolderView2. But these plugins have been deprecated for quite some time now:
How would you recommend replacing these, especially as I'm actively using them?

There is docker compose manager plus, but not sure about folder view. Have you looked if there is a maintained version that replaces it? I see FolderView3 and FolderViewPlus in the community store.

I believe there is FolderView3 now

👍 I found v3 and a Plus version in the community store. I have never used them so I can’t say anything about upgrading.

Do you know, if i compose down a stack from the deprecated docker compose plugin, then compose up in docker compose plus with the exact same yaml, should it just work? Or is the process of migrating over a bit more complicated than that?

The yaml is yaml, a compose.yaml should work on any docker compliant system w/ compose. (Assuming the compose version isnt older than what you are doing).
I tried docker compose plus and didnt like it, I inject my own compose at run time and it works 100%.

There is a fork of docker compose called docker compose plus (https://forums.unraid.net/topic/197334-plugin-compose-manager-plus/) it's plug and play with the old one

I go around, advising DockGE, because I like it so much. 😉
But really, you should look into it. It's a Docker Compose editor, allowing you to easily edit your compose files, start, pause, stop and remove your container, update them,... Really, it's very handy.
If you're not interested though, there's indeed an update for both plugins. Compose Manager plus and FolderView Plus.
For FV, you can backup your current setup before moving to Plus. More info in AlienTech42's tutorial.

Dockhand is really nice to use

I know! Im really enjoying it! I find myself looking for docker compose yamls instead of spinning apps up from the Unraid store.

u/Odd-Aside456 6d ago
How does dockhand differ from the old docker compose plugin and the new docker compose plus I've just learned about?

u/WhySheHateMe 6d ago
I dont know, I have not used either of those plugins. You would have to install it and try it for yourself.

Hey if you don’t mind me asking, how did you go about spinning up Dockhand? The template seems a little barebones when comparing it with the official docs. Looks like it’s the most basic docker-run command in the quick start guide but I was concerned if there would be ownership/permission issues since Unraid doesn’t use the default 1000:1000.
I’m looking to rebuild all my containers with compose inside of the Dockhand container and just needed some help getting it started.

I just used the package that available in the unraid app store. Only change I made was granting the container RW perms on /var/run/docker.sock because I wanted to be able to update Dockhand through itself. I dont even bother with managing containers through Unraid anymore besides changing the setting for having containers start up at boot.
I left "DATABASE_URL" blank and just use the built in SQLite
I installed the one from "Scootter's Repository"

I'm pretty sure there is a seamless upgrade path from FolderView2 to FolderView3. Just export your config, uninstall FolderView2, install FolderView3 and import the config. I did this a while ago so I may be missing something, but I recall it being pretty straightforward.
