Do you use a docker manager like Portainer? (old.reddit.com)

No idea if that "manager" label is accurate, but anywho

Setting up a fresh Docker VM in Proxmox to hold a bunch of softwarr's and just curious. The helper script installs command line only iirc, so I thought maybe I'd put Portainer in there too just to make managing them a little nicer.

So.. Who's running managers like Portainer? Are there better options? Are they completely pointless and I should just do the work for docker compose?

I use Portainer, mainly for ease of oversight & backups. It’s easier for me to do Portainer backups instead of each compose file.

I’ve been trying to look into Komodo or DockGE too, but havent made any hops yet.
