Import from Dockge
Adopt your running Dockge stacks into Server Compass in a guided six-step migration, over the SSH login you already use. Stacks are adopted in place — same containers, data, volumes, and ports — so nothing is recreated, moved, or taken offline, and Dockge keeps running until you choose to retire it.
