Isn’t scrolling a single docker-compose.yml easier to see everything? I mean, if you want to change anything - you just edit and re-run command.
Personal preference. I prefer a gui for some things. I also prefer to not put all my containers in one monolithic config. It can also automate using configs in GitHub which is nice.
It also provides a nice dashboard of container health across multiple hosts and makes it easy to manage those hosts from a “single pane of glass”.
But, personal preference.
I ran a kvm host manually for years. Years. I recently started over with proxmox because it could be exhausting and this is easier.
Right? I’m fully capable of using docker compose. But portainer adds an easy and useful admin layer to it.
What specifically does portainer add?
Pretty buttons and the ability to scroll and see all my configs in one window with a single click
Umm okay. Personal preference.

Click something and you’re there (e.g. viewing logs of a container). You don’t have to remember
dockercommands to do simple and quick operations.
