Portainer

Portainer is a powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-use open source GUI for container management.

It helps customers adopt container technology and build, manage and maintain container-based ecosystems using Docker, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm and Azure ACI.

Portainer is easy to deploy and provides an intuitive interface for both software developers and IT operations.

The tool eliminates the need to use the command line (CLI) and simplifies container management.

The Portainer container management platform consists of two components: the Portainer server and the Portainer agent.

Both of these elements run as lightweight Docker containers on the Docker engine, providing centralized configuration, management, and security across Kubernetes and Docker production environments.

It provides a detailed overview of the environment and allows DevOps teams to manage containers, images, volumes, networks and many other aspects.

Portainer is also compatible with both the standalone Docker engine and the Docker swarm.
