It has its quirks and limitations (most notably that it can’t work with .env files),

Just learned this limitation can be worked around by using the include directive which is explained in the following thread:

Electric Eel - How I am using Dockerfile, .env files, compose files

I can’t answer that, but, I have no need for Dockge. It’s just another thing to deal with. I greatly prefer the minimum software I need. Using this technique, I still get update notices, click update, and it rebuilds and downloads as needed. Can’t be simpler. I don’t want to do auto updates so that is not an issue either. I suspect it’s personal preference and some guides out there that people read. There’s nothing wrong with using it or portainer, etc. Whatever you prefer.
