I have used portainer in the past to manage containers, curious whether this offers something different or if they are fairly similar. https://www.portainer.io

  I don't use it anymore since I find CLI faster, and am starting to migrate to Nomad, but my main gripe with Portainer was the spotty compose support, that I basically had to write them outside, launch them, and then have them show up in Portainer, kind of defeating the point of the frontend. If the compose support in this is better I could see the value for people just dipping their toe in.

    It got significantly better in an update towards the end of last year (IIRC). Can also use GitHub as a source of truth for stacks now, and has webhooks etc.

    Unless I'm missing something, one common use case the GUI makes a lot faster is issuing commands that need container/image/volume ids. Opening a terminal in a container is a click or two instead of two commands where the second requires visually parsing some large screen of text and carefully transcribing a few characters. It also hard to remember all the command line flags and their inconsistencies (which commands support -a and which do not?)

  Been using portainer for a while and it's been great.
