  • There’s a container web UI called Portainer, but I’ve never used it. It may be what you’re looking for.

    I also use a container called Watchtower to automatically update my services. Granted there’s some risk there, but I wrote a script for backup snapshots in case I need to revert, and Docker makes that easy with image tags.

    There’s another container called Autoheal that will restart containers with failed healthchecks. (Not every container has a built in healthcheck, but they’re easy to add with a custom Dockerfile or a docker-compose.)


  • It’s really not! I migrated rapidly from orchestrating services with Vagrant and virtual machines to Docker just because of how much more efficient it is.

    Granted, it’s a different tool to learn and takes time, but I feel like the tradeoff was well worth it in my case.

    I also further orchestrate my containers using Ansible, but that’s not entirely necessary for everyone.
