I often see people mention the Portainer project and how it’s useful, but I never hear any reason to use it other than as a more user friendly front end to service management.
So is there any particular feature or reason to use portainer over docker’s CLI? Or is it simply a method of convenience?
This isn’t only strictly for self hosting, but I figure people here would know better.
Somewhat off topic but I’ve been using this lately and it’s great https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker. If all you want is a ui over docker this may be better than going all in on something like portainer
Excellent utility, this covers everything I used Portainer for and works over SSH.
Can you compare this to dockge by any chance?
TUI so it’s easy to use over SSH. And I think it’s a lot more featureful than dockge. You can remove images, get a running log, performance graphs and more environment info.
I put this on all my docker hosts and alias it to
lzd, use it all the time.
