Portainer is a lightweight, open-source management UI for Docker, allowing you to easily manage your Docker hosts, containers, images, networks and volumes. Portainer provides a simple and intuitive web-based interface to manage and monitor your Docker environment, reducing the complexity and effort required to operate and manage your containers.
In addition to the basic management of Docker objects, Portainer also provides some advanced features like endpoint management, access control, and event management. It also integrates with various Docker platforms like standalone Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes, making it a versatile tool for managing containers in different environments.
