I haven't looked at Portainer before, what does it give you that just running a Docker instance on the NAS doesn't do?

- jamie_ca 3y agoGenerically, Portainer can manage multiple servers at once, each running their own Docker. For home server usage, I just use it as a frontend to docker-compose files that gives me a pretty UI I can access from a web browser, instead of needing to SSH in to the home server.
- vr46 3y agoWell, a lovely management system, basically. One can run and edit Docker Compose configurations in the browser, see everything that’s running, manage environment variables and see the logs. I mean, having written all that, I’m wondering why I don’t run it on my Mac instead of Docker Desktop.
