I often see people mention the Portainer project and how it’s useful, but I never hear any reason to use it other than as a more user friendly front end to service management.

So is there any particular feature or reason to use portainer over docker’s CLI? Or is it simply a method of convenience?

This isn’t only strictly for self hosting, but I figure people here would know better.

    Totally, I get it if its a means to an end to get something like Jellyfin up.

    Maybe its a me thing. I just like to understand the mechanics of the tools I use.
