I rolled out Dockge the other week, and it's solid. It can handle environment variables, but lacks other portainer features like controlling networks, volumes, building images, etc.

One big plus is that Dockge works really well with the dockcheck.sh script for updates, where as Portainer breaks that script.

There's also Yacht.

I've heard of dockge as a lightweight alternative to portainer.

The thing about dockge is that it’s easy to go to and from using it. It can scan existing folders for compose files, and because it uses compose files itself, you could just as easily start containers made by dockge without dockge even running.

Of course, this means it lacks some of the fancier features of something like portainer, but I personally enjoy the simplicity

I’ve been using dokemon https://github.com/productiveops/dokemon

It works well enough.

Another risk with Monitor, which may get better with time. Is that FOSS rust projects have a tendency to slow down or even stall due to the time cost of writing features, and the very small dev community available to pick up slack when original creators/maintainers drop off, burn out, or get too busy with life.

To be clear: I have nothing against rust. It's a fantastic language filling in a crucial gap that's existed for decades. However, it's I'll suited for app development, that's just not it's strength.
