Square chickened out after manchildren ree’d about the really interesting changes made in Remake, kinda walking it back and trying to pretend it didn’t happen. And ironically, that’s kind of just worse, because those nerds are never going to be happy with what happened in Remake and its ramifications in Rebirth and ReThree, my nerds are mourning for what we could’ve had, and Square looks kinda pathetic and easily bullied.

My actual professional advice: cut portainer out of your learning. Stick to compose as your only docker abstraction and you’ll be a wizard in no time. I have portainer running in my sea of self hosted apps and never use it. If you let some app generate compose files for you, or even just blindly use an app’s example compose file, you’ll never fully understand what’s happening and it’ll make things much more difficult to debug.

4: yes, every container will show up in portainer. 5: I don’t know 6: this is one of the reasons why I personally hate piling layers onto tools. Very often someone else’s opinion does not jive with mine.
