portainer
Alternative to Heroku
Portainer is a container management UI for Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes. It enables GUI-based container creation, monitoring, and management without CLI commands, simplifying container operations for teams.
- Multi-orchestrator support managing Docker standalone, Swarm, and Kubernetes from a unified UI
- App Templates for one-click deployment of stacks like WordPress, GitLab, and Redmine
- Container management with start, stop, log viewing, and shell access via GUI
- Docker Compose support for deploying and managing multi-container applications
- Role-based access control with per-environment and per-resource team permissions
- Registry management for connecting Docker Hub, GitLab, and custom registries
Built with Go and React, Portainer launches with a single Docker command. It lowers the barrier to container adoption and improves productivity for development and operations teams.
