I often see people mention the Portainer project and how it’s useful, but I never hear any reason to use it other than as a more user friendly front end to service management.

So is there any particular feature or reason to use portainer over docker’s CLI? Or is it simply a method of convenience?

This isn’t only strictly for self hosting, but I figure people here would know better.

    But that’s also why you don’t know the commands in the first place, if you used them you would remember them. It’s self sustaining ignorance ;)

    Ps: I kid, there a lot of stuff I don’t care to remember the cli for and I happily use GUI.

    PPS: docker logs -f container_name ;)

      This is why you use fish shell and just type something vaguely similar to what you remember and hit the up arrow key.
