## Recommendation
|
|
|
|
1. **Komodo** — best API story, GPL-3.0, unlimited servers, built-in backup/restore CLI
|
|
2. **Arcane** — BSD-3-Clause, beautiful UI, no MongoDB, Edge mode for NAT'd hosts
|
|
3. **Portainer** — most mature, best documented, 3-node free tier
|
|
|
|
**Ruled out:** Dockge (no API), Dockhand (BSL license, API is future), Lazydocker (single host).
