Overall Satisfaction with Portainer

I use the Portainer application to manage all my containers on a single node server, Portainer allows me to easily manage containers and to start or stop stacks in case of a problem. This application is used in my service, but I regularly make demonstrations to other services to sell them to democratize the use of docker.

Pros

  • Docker container management through the GUI
  • GPU allocation, Yes !
  • Adding multi docker environment via the dashboard

Cons

  • I would like to have an analytical part for each environment, like memory usage, and CPU, and even see the available space in real-time on the machine.
  • I propose the integration of a container registry directly installable and manageable via Portainer.
  • I would like to be able to restart a server directly from the interface.
  • A free license for less than 5 users is ideal to get the hang of this application.
  • Integration with the company's LDAP is very important for me.
  • No negative feedback on the use of Portainer
  • Workflow administration by different users in the company
  • For the moment, the application costs us 0€
I have not found any application as good as Portainer.

I use the Portainer application to manage a machine-learning workflow. The Portainer application is particularly useful to visualize the logs of my containers. For Kubernetes cluster management, I think it can be used but I haven't experimented with this feature. The Portainer application also allows me to propose to my colleagues a solution to adopt docker in their applications. What prevents the use of docker is the administration of containers, volumes, and images, but Portainer offers a simple way to manage this.
