Re: Putting a UI around Docker with Portainer

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 addressing).

I'd love to see something with more obvious CI/CD hooks and a good UI that let me follow the build and deployment status of an entire stack -- this may not seem like a good direct fit for the likes of Portainer, but after a few deploys you'd probably like to have comparable metrics between releases, etc.

Just started using portainer. Really wish it has docker-compose support and a dashboard view where you can display metrics from all of your containers at the same time. It is a great project, and the best GUI I have found for docker in a dev env.

Docker compose support is on the roadmap for the next major release:

Sounds like exactly what calm.io was doing before they were acquired.

Not sure what you are missing exactly, since I don't know Portainer, but Rancher [1] (am not affiliated in any way) has a UI and CLI for lifecycle management of stacks which integrates nicely with CI scripts.
