Dockge allows you to start/stop containers and edit your compose files from a handy ui.

Pros: if something goes wrong while you're away, it would give you a tool to restart a service or make some changes if necessary.

Cons: exposing that much control to the outside world (even behind a log in) can potentially be catastrophic for your stack if someone gets in.

One thing to consider, as well, is that SSH is extremely well reviewed, audited, and battle tested.

If you get "hacked" via SSH, it's almost certainly because you had a bad password (don't use passwords!), and not due to an exploitable bug in SSH.

Some random Docker management tool? Eh, I wouldn't wager any money on you getting hacked, either through missing a configuration step, or a permission being too lose, or a flat out stupid decision made somewhere in the code that's exploitable.

SSH + lazydocker is a reasonable choice if you want to go the SSH route and is my 'oh shit, portainer-via-vpn is fucked' backup.
