Portainer is changing to a mostly AI and kubernetes supported app.
it means I moved to Arcane with zero features left behind

GustavoM@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago As someone who has been OOTL regarding self-hosting for the last few months… what is the -real- difference between Arcane and Portainer?
- ALERT@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
There are basically none. I found zero features that I was missing after the transition. More so, there are features that Arcane has, but Portainer doesn’t: notifications, container update checks, container auto-updates.

Muat be a sign. Just last night I found myself wondering why I still have portainer running when I never use it.

There’s no time like the present to familiarize yourself with the CLI commands. Docker’s pretty basic. Less is more.

Saw quite a few similar comments under the original post. Enjoying user interfaces is not equivalent to being tech-illiterate. Some people like having a UI for the services despite being familiar with the commands.
Yes, I can do
docker container ls, but I like looking at a dashboard.pucker4676@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
You can customize the hell out of your terminal emulator. As I said in the other comment, you do you. It’s a security risk, but it’s not my box.

i can manage my lab entirely by cli just fine.
i also like having it visually on a gui
pucker4676@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
I understand a GUI can be nice to look at, but it can also be a security risk. More permissions, more attack surface. It’s largely an unnecessary addition. But you do you. It’s not my box. I’m trying to migrate from docker to rootless podman. It’s been on my to-do list for quite awhile. There’s only so much segregating you can do with a rootful daemon.
RxBrad@infosec.pub 2 weeks ago I opted for Dockhand instead of Arcane. It’s a whole lot less vibe coded.
Also, switching over from Portainer was easy-peasy. Just stopped Portainer stack, paste stack & env’s into Dockhand & start it. Repeat until done. (I did have to replace any Portainer

I also started out with Portainer and Docker, as a beginner I thought it was easy.
I’ve not switched to a different web interface, but removed it and started using rootless podman quadlets. I do have to do some stuff myself because of this.

Rootless postman is the way. Still have portainer set up because so many projects just have documentation for docker compose and just aren’t worth the pain to them working with podman. Looking at you, immich!

Since I posted that I have migrated to arcane.

Portainer-ce is staying on 2.*. Will look into arcane
why dance with asking Portainer pretty please to give you a license when there are multiple alternatives that are free and fully functional.

I’m working on doing the same for my set-up, so that’s encouraging! I like having a visual dashboard for my services, and Arcane seems like a good replacement.
