Portainer is a lightweight, cross-platform, and open source management UI for Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes, and ACI environments. Portainer allows you to manage containers, images, networks and volumes via simple web-based dashboard and/or an extensive API.
Using Portainer, we can easily deploy, configure and secure containers in minutes on Docker, Kubernetes, Swarm and Nomad in any cloud, datacenter or device.
So whilst many tutorials show command line options to create and manage Docker containers, you can do most of that through Portainer. Docker-compose files are scripts that get set up to automate the creation of Docker containers within Portainer. So if you want to use Portainer lookout for those docker-compose files in tutorials and you can adapt them as needed, or you can set them up manually within Portainer as shown in this tutorial.
