What redditors said (10 of 10)

I use Portainer. Through a web browser, you can control "stacks" (Docker Compose files), containers, images, volumes, etc. It's extremely comprehensive. There can be a bit of a learning curve for more complex stuff, but for the basics, it's pretty straightforward.

sometimes it's nice to be able to just pop into Portainer and quickly get stuff done without having to remember all the different commands.
