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
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.Excellent utility, this covers everything I used Portainer for and works over SSH.
