Overall Satisfaction with Portainer
We have recently began transitioning from using many virtual machines each running specific services to a containerized system. Portainer has eased this transition to docker and gives us a well designed and easy to use management interface with great user permissions. This has greatly cut down on our compute requirements allowing downsizing cloud providers, which in turn has saved money and time.
- Allows administering container updates with a few clicks.
- Stacks help ensure correct container configuration in an easy to read format compared to the docker command line
- Allows many users each with different permission levels based on what is needed
- Having an option to select a default environment to connect to would be useful for single environment deployments
- The option of using SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt in addition to uploading your own
- Environments public IP being self discovered instead of defaulting to 0.0.0.0
- Reduced time managing containers significantly which allows time to be spent on other projects
- Lowered cloud compute bill as we were able to reduce number of virtual machines needed.
- Allows more control over what permissions each team member gets in our docker environments.
Initially looked into using Rancher for container management but it is
aimed more at kubernetes deployments. I have used both at home and liked
Portainer more, especially since we are using docker standalone. From
my limited experience with Rancher, Portainer seems to work much better
with docker and has been a great experience so far.
