Comments and Reviews
If you want to use Docker but want a GUI, look no further, Portainer is the way to go!
Portainer is super lightweight app with web GUI that allows you to use docker without long CLI writing, you can swiftly copy/paste code and execute it. It also has great monitoring tools.
I have been using it for a while now and i can just say WOW
Overall great Docker container manager, easy to install and use with minimum memory consumption.
You can't find the installation guide on their site. All I see I the pricing for the commercial edition etc
I don't know how you didn't find it, but there are two guides, and even their Business version is free for three nodes now.

Fantastic for Docker management
PORTAINER is ,for me, the ultimate GUI solution for managing all your Docker stacks and connecting multiple Docker nodes. You can easily back up your stack templates, check if images are up to date, and handle complex container operations from a single dashboard. Portainer even offers role-based access management — perfect for teams and enterprises. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Portainer streamlines every aspect of Docker administration in a clear, organized interface.
Starting my work with Docker I was looking for simple GUI to help me understand how it works. Earlier versions of Portainer were nice and helped me a lot in my home use. Now with new features as simple (as for now) authentication and multiple endpoints Porteiner is ready to be used in production. And last thing I like: the image is micro in size / resources use and should be example how programs should be developed.
