Portainer's popped up a couple of times late last year, and there were a few discussions around it (and others). Most of these solutions/management UIs/etc. focus on delivering some form of simple stack management, metrics, and infrastructure provisioning, but one thing I've yet to see is application lifecycle management (this is not a criticism of Portainer, more of an overall gap in the market I think needs address…

Yeah, the gist of the article was just to show some of the capabilities. In essence, Portainer is just a wrapper around the Docker API. So I wouldn't use it as a management tool, much rather as a quick and dirty checkup tool.

You might want to check out Red Hat's OpenShift, we just deployed it at the end of November and it's been great to have dockerized deployments as simple as a "git push" to our master branch.

Check out https://www.distelli.com - We do a lot of lifecycle management stuff esp around Kubernetes. Not so much around docker swarm though but its on our roadmap.

I don't understand how this could be flagged as a dupe. I agree both articles cover Portainer.

But one goes deep into how to set it up with deep integration on Docker Machine and DigitalOcean on a more expert level.

While the other provides a very simple beginner level Play with Docker setup and then goes on how to install an entire application stack, with frontends, databases and workers.
