Comment on What's the deal with Docker?

  Well the webui provides me with a list of containers, whether they’re running or not, the ports that are opened by the containers. There’s Stacks which are basically Docker Compose files in a neat UI. The ability to move these stacks to other instances. There’s the network options and ability to make more networks, the files that are associated with the containers.

  And not just for the instance I’m in, but for all the instances I’ve connected.

  In my previous experience with Docker these are all things that I need to remember code to find, meaning I most often have to Google the code to find out what I’m after. Here is neatly packaged in a web page

    Sounds awesome! I’ve taken a look at Portainer and got confused on the whole Business Edition and Community Edition. What are you running?

        Docker can be many things - and portainer is a nice replacement for those using docker for running services. It’s got a great web interface. For automation and most development docker and compose is my pick. Also a good fit for those that only use X to spawn terminals.

    Does portainer, and docker in turn, allow taking/accessing something like point in time snapshots of containers like VM software do? They make it easy to tinker with stuff, knowing that if I mess up, I can go back to a snapshot and be good again.
