Firstly, this post is not to celebrate somebody losing their job, nor to poke fun at a company struggling in today’s market.
However, it might go some way to explaining why Portainer are tightening up the free Business plan from 5 to 3 nodes

My time at Portainer came to an end in May due to restructuring/layoffs. I am proud of the work the team and I put in. Being the Head of Marketing is challenging but I am thankful for the personal growth and all that we accomplished. Monday starts the search for my next role!
Portainer is just training wheels for people that haven’t learned to manage their own containers yet.

I also saw a post about a portainer alternative, anyone know others?
Monitor (docs.monitor.mogh.tech)

I rolled out Dockge the other week, and it’s solid. It can handle environment variables, but lacks other portainer features like controlling networks, volumes, building images, etc.
One big plus is that Dockge works really well with the dockcheck.sh script for updates, where as Portainer breaks that script.

There’s also Yacht.

I started with Yacht and moved to Portainer. Yacht’s ui was just too heavy and unresponsive for me. I got logged out of sessions without it actually telling me almost every time I used Yacht. I would have to log out and in again just to use it (a process that often freezed up as well for reasons I cannot comprehend). I finally had enough and switched to Portainer; not a single complaint since.

Yacht is pretty much unmaintained.

Used it for a bit but I didn’t like how you have to deploy things from templates which are basically compose files that don’t like like compose files.

The thing about dockge is that it’s easy to go to and from using it. It can scan existing folders for compose files, and because it uses compose files itself, you could just as easily start containers made by dockge without dockge even running.
Of course, this means it lacks some of the fancier features of something like portainer, but I personally enjoy the simplicity

I’ve heard of dockge as a lightweight alternative to portainer.
JASN_DE@lemmy.world 4 months ago
There are some things that are easier to see and check in Portainer, but for pure compose handling (up, down, logs) dockge works really well.

I’ve been using dokemon github.com/productiveops/dokemon
It works well enough.

Dokemon and monitor seem to be the best alternatives in this thread so far.

Another risk with Monitor, which may get better with time. Is that FOSS rust projects have a tendency to slow down or even stall due to the time cost of writing features, and the very small dev community available to pick up slack when original creators/maintainers drop off, burn out, or get too busy with life.
