At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories.

I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system.

What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it.

I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it.

What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?

    Looks interesting. How does it compare to portainer stacks?

      It’s a bit simpler than portainer, but I appreciate being able to edit the docker compose file directly rather than trying to find all the right buttons in portainer.

        Might give it a look, the UI for portainer is frustrating but I mostly use the stacks.
