Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn’t free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enremovedtification blah blah blah.
I’ve moved off them a while ago, but figured I’d see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?
A good time to ditch them if you haven’t, I suppose.
You must log in or register to comment.
Wait.
Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.
Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.
I used portainer only as fancy docker dashboard and to start stop services. It was buggy and even with the git implementation really frustrating to use. Also that they do not store the compose files is simply not ok.
Dockge fully replaced portainer for my needs.
Just for you to known, they store the compose file. It’s in their compose folder on the data volume.
Oh yeah, sorry i know. Was too lazy to type it out. They number the created compose files in numbered directories instead of naming it after the stack.
The problem is, that they do not support at all the direct modification of those files and the abstraction of numbering them instead of giving them real names is annoying when you want to start them via cli.
I dont ever recall giving portainer my real email.
I’ve never really seen why portainer is used beyond a shiny UI. Docker compose file is enough for me
Terminals are powerful and flexible, but still slower than a dedicated UI to see states at a glance, issue routine commands, or do text editing.
Terminal absolutists are as insufferable as GUI purists. There is a place and time for both.
That’s what aliases / functions in .bashrc (or whatever shell you use) are for. You don’t need to always write the full code.
EDIT: Looks like .bashrc hurt you guys.
These fools are ridiculous. Ignorance.
