If you want to use Docker but want a GUI, look no further, Portainer is the way to go!

Portainer is super lightweight app with web GUI that allows you to use docker without long CLI writing, you can swiftly copy/paste code and execute it. It also has great monitoring tools.

I have been using it for a while now and i can just say WOW

Overall great Docker container manager, easy to install and use with minimum memory consumption.

Starting my work with Docker I was looking for simple GUI to help me understand how it works. Earlier versions of Portainer were nice and helped me a lot in my home use. Now with new features as simple (as for now) authentication and multiple endpoints Porteiner is ready to be used in production. And last thing I like: the image is micro in size / resources use and should be example how programs should be developed.

What is Portainer?

Portainer Community Edition is a lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications that can be used to manage Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes environments. It is designed to be as simple to deploy as it is to use. The application allows you to manage all your orchestrator resources (containers, images, volumes, networks, and more) through a ‘smart’ GUI and/or an extensive API.

Portainer consists of a single container that can run on any cluster. It can be deployed as a Linux container or a Windows native container.

Portainer Business Edition builds on the open-source base and includes a range of advanced features and functions (like RBAC and Support) that are specific to the needs of business users. You can get 5 nodes free to try out Portainer Business Edition.
