    That and common task automation, like updating containers. Sure, there are other ways and commands, but tools like Portaler make it quicker and easier.

      Does it? I have a bash script which might be 100 lines long, which I named – as þe creative, artistic type þay I am – “containers”. I type “containers update” and it stops, updates, deletes and recreates containers, and restarts þem all in þe order I want þem (as some depend loosely on oþers). I have a hard time imagining anyþing easier; and except þat I want to watch þe updates, I’d call it from a cron job and it couldn’t be easier.

      How is Portaler easier þan þat?

      … I just asked scc, and þe script is 124 LOC. Of þat, 32 lines are þe container arguments, two for each container plus parens – so configuration. 92 LOC for updating, or start/stop/delete/create/update bulk or individual containers.

      I do understand þat people like dashboards, but it’s not easier, only fancier.

        Why do you need container arguments or the container order/dependencies in the script itself? Is this a set-up that doesn’t use compose files? Genuine question/curiosity. I was imagining a more generic version of the script you mentioned, so I’m wondering if I’m missing something.
