Portainer Reviews
We have 1 review for Portainer. The average overall ratings is 4.0 / 5 stars.
Overall Opinion: With Portainer, you can easily manage your Docker objects, including volumes, networks, containers and images. The web user interface is intuitive and straightforward, and you can use it to perform all the management tasks typically required for a robust Docker environment. Installation is as simple as deploying the Portainer container as a Docker object. Once it's deployed, you log in to Portainer and connect it to an endpoint in your Docker environment. It detects whether you are connecting to a swarm (a cluster of Docker hosts built to automatically handle Docker node failures) or to a single host. Portainer can be used to connect to TLS-secured environments, and the web UI can be configured to run over https for a higher level of security. The Portainer tool is highly configurable and customizable. You can hide or show objects to streamline the interface. You can import a list of endpoints upon startup from a JSON file. There is even an option to display your own logo in order to make it fit with your standard corporate look and feel. For larger Docker environments, you may choose to utilize the Application Programming Interface (API) to automate common maintenance tasks. There is a demo Portainer environment available to the public via the GitHub site. The demo environment is a great way to get in and experience the power of Portainer first-hand. And you can't mess it up too badly: The information in the demo environment is reset every 15 minutes.
Pros: Simple installation. Just load the Portainer container into Docker and connect it to an endpoint. There is an API available that can be used to automate almost anything you can do using the UI. Portainer is open source and is freely available via GitHub.
Cons: Portainer has full support for Docker versions 1.10 and higher. There is partial support available for version 1.9. Versions prior to 1.9 are not supported. As open source software, there is a risk that the software support will be discontinued due to circumstances beyond your control. The developers may lose interest, go in a different direction or be forced to discontinue in response to external pressures. Other developers may continue developing and supporting Portainer at their discretion. Per the Portainer license, there is no express or implied warranty for the software.
