Can anyone provide me with information on the following?
I currently have Docker (Container Manager) running on a Synology NAS with DSM 7.2.

I have this working well with many Docker containers running, all set up in directories with a docker-compose.yml file in each.

I currently use Portianer but would like to start using Dockge.

I use Portainer to pull updates and recreate the container in one action and to see what is hidden by the Synology "Container Manager" UI, and again this is working.

If I go to Stacks in Portainer I see "Limited" as all of my creation happens in Synology "Container Manager" and I don't have any problems that come from this.

My question is can I run Dockge in this environment and point directories to existing containers and docker-compose.yml files?
I don't want to start a new container location or stop Container Manager from working.

My directory structure looks like this...

volume1/docker/uptimekuma
volume1/docker/uptimekuma/docker-compose.yml
volume1/docker/uptimekuma/data/ ( Persistent data directory set via volumes: )

volume1/docker/sonarr
volume1/docker/sonarr/docker-compose.yml
volume1/docker/sonarr/config/ ( Persistent data directory set via volumes: )

ect...

I want to add Dockge as volume1/docker/dockge with the following docker-compose.yml

version: "3.8"
services:
  dockge:
    image: louislam/dockge:1
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 5999:5001
    volumes:
      - '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'
⚠️    - '/volume1/docker/dockge/data:/app/data' ⚠️
⚠️    - '/volume1/docker:/volume1/docker' ⚠️
    environment:
      # Tell Dockge where to find the stacks
⚠️    - DOCKGE_STACKS_DIR=/volume1/docker ⚠️

Will this work with all of my previously created containers and still allow me to keep Container Manager working as is?

I usually have a crack and work it out myself, but I have too many containers set up and working perfectly now for this to be an "Oh crap!" data loss moment.

Thanks for any help / advice / already have this working with no data loss 😉 comments. QuickSwitchLK.

I think that should work. At the very least it shouldn't break anything.

Test this code for your dockge stack. It run ok for me on Synology
Make directory "dockge" on "docker folder and inside "data" and "stacks" --> "docker/dockge/data" and "docker/dockge/stacks"
