## What it is
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

- artifact type: application
