Main developer here, feel free to ask any questions :)
I see real time stats, do you have support for log retention?
Say I don't wanna ship logs elsewhere, can I define a retention period and check out logs locally?

#22Is there a Docker image to run Portainer? Can it then create docker containers inside itself?
Re: Show HN: Portainer – A lightweight management UI for Docker
#23Related to this project? https://github.com/duedil-ltd/portainer
No; that Portainer is for, in short, running `docker build` tasks remotely on a Mesos cluster. Unrelated work, same ecosystem.
Both projects just named themselves based on an extension of the shipping-container analogy - "things that help manage lots of containers".

#24It's like Rancher but for Docker Swarm (or just a host with Docker). I really like it! We run our own container registry for our engineering group based on Artifactory. Could this be made to work with that (or even Quay)? [EDIT]Actually I just deployed this and saw that you can support other registries out of the box. Cool!

Saw it, loved it, installed in only 30 seconds, now using it in production. There are definitely issues to be resolved but I believe most of them are simple enough for single commits.
It should be noted that this project still lacks proper access management. There is no authentication either. You can set up Basic Auth but it feels dirty in my opinion. Guard it behind your firewall if you are gonna use it in production.
Kudos

So, here's a concern for you: this provides for a severe security hole, since it has the ability to effectively run as root on any machine its connected to (a'la privileged mode, volumes, network, leaking secrets through environment variables). It might be worthwhile to find a way to mitigate that security hole, or add some serious access control restrictions.
I wouldn't be too surprised if your test cluster machines are frequently rooted.

yes, it can - http://portainer.io/install.html

Was able to set it up in under 30 seconds - kudos to you!
Really looking forward to the docker-compose support, though. I like the combination of docker-compose + traefik + labels. :)
Re: Show HN: Portainer – A lightweight management UI for Docker
#29Very Cool!
1. Is there some auth mechanism like Shipyard where I can make new users and set their access scopes?
2. Can you please mention the source code on your page? It is nowhere to be seen (https://github.com/portainer/portainer).

Toward the bottom of the page, there is a link to the source code under the title "OPEN SOURCE."
