Arcane is a modern, self-hosted web UI for managing Docker containers and Docker Compose stacks, built with a Go backend and SvelteKit frontend. It provides an approachable interface for container lifecycle management aimed at both beginners and experienced users.

Use cases

• manage docker containers from a web ui
• self-hosted portainer alternative
• manage docker compose stacks with a gui
• monitor and restart containers on my homelab server
• web dashboard for docker on my nas
• update and manage containers without the cli

When to choose

• you want a friendly web interface for Docker instead of the CLI
• you run a homelab or self-hosted server and need container management
• you want an open-source, actively maintained Portainer alternative
• you manage Docker Compose projects through a UI

When to avoid

• you need Kubernetes or multi-node orchestration rather than single-host Docker
• you prefer purely CLI-based or infrastructure-as-code container workflows
• you need deep registry, swarm, or enterprise RBAC features
