how is this different then shipyard -> https://shipyard-project.com/ i would love to be able to add docker-compose file and it would create everything for me ( something like rancher ). shipyard does not support this and with rancher i abounded it after running into problems.

Both Portainer and Shipyard currently occupy the same space. While there is no Docker Compose support at the moment, however, you can add customisable templates, see https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/templates.html for more info.

Also, they do eventually plan for Portainer to compete with Rancher https://twitter.com/portainerio/status/814542425410576386

Porntainer? Not exactly the best marketing decision, imo.

would love to see a curses (cli) based UI for managing images/containers (not aware of any).

I'm not really sure on how this can move beyond a "good to have" UI on my dev machine. In production I'd always want a more wide-scoped dashboard like the one in K8s or Marathon.

This. I evaluated Portainer recently and found myself missing a few critical features available from Marathon.

The way I would look at it at the moment is that it provides a nice self-service interface allowing you give people access to deploy containers on dev servers which may free up time to allow you to concentrate on managing production.

Why should I use this instead of Kubernetes?

Is there a similarly simple and rich UI for Kube?

Tectonic by CoreOS comes with a console. See screenshots at the bottom of the page: https://tectonic.com/

Can anyone point me to the best argument for hiding complexity instead of eliminating it?

I am fairly certain I've used one, do not recall the name.
