Chapter 9: Portainer – A GUI for Docker
In this chapter, we will take a look at Portainer. Portainer is a tool that allows you to manage Docker resources from a web interface.
As Portainer itself is distributed in containers, it is simple to install and you can run it anywhere you can launch a container, making it the perfect interface for those who would prefer to not manage their containers using the command line as we have been doing in the previous chapters.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
- The road to Portainer
- Getting Portainer up and running
- Using Portainer
- Portainer and Docker Swarm
