• https://github.com/portainer/portainer
  • Agent - Server Architecture
  • Comparable with K8s, Swarm
  • Security features
  • CE is open source
• https://github.com/SelfhostedPro/Yacht
  • Young project
  • Simple
  • No security and user management

Yacht

$ docker volume create yacht
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v yacht:/config selfhostedpro/yach

• Simple UI
• Most of info visible at a glance
• Support docker-compose.yml files to deploy(Projects)

  Portainer

  

  docker run -d -p 8080:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

• Once server is up, the default environment is local, no need to add agent for local
• Have to click buttons to view details of containers
• events tab to see events
• Inspect docker json
• exec into container
• Download backup for CE
