At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories.
I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system.
What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it.
I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it.
What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?

Portainer and Cockpit if you want to run VM (it also manage container but only with podman)
Give portainer a try. It’s actually pretty good for getting a birdseye view, and let’s you manage more than one docker server.
It’s not perfect of course.
I tried portainer and it was overkill for my usage, too much overhead and too many features that I don’t need.
Right now I’m using ajenti 2, which shows memory and CPU usage for the docker containers in the web page
