What’s wrong with Portainer?
A lot of smaller things, at least for me. The biggest grievance I have with it is the garbage tier UX between hitting “Deploy” on a stack and getting ito to do so. Error messages in the notification bubble get cut off, are unhelpful amd/or disappear too fast. That and the L9g Voewer sucking ass are my main problems with it and why I’ll definitely check this out.
Portainer has so many tiny broken places that I effectively treat it only as a read-only view. It lists my containers and shows my logs and nothing much else.
It could in theory do quite a bit more, but starting from the fact that it doesn’t quite do docker-compose, but its own thing that’s somehow similar but different there’s just too many tiny issues with it.
Also, it’s quite aggressively pushing the paid option without a way to turn that off (or at least turn it down to tolerable levels).
I use an ad-blocker to strip those out

I could close my eyes to all of those, but the issue that pisses me off the most is that often enough Portainer just forgets which stacks it has ownership over, forcing you to delete the whole stack, dig up the old compose from its files, and create it again
