Every package Portainer depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Portainer is an open-source container management platform built as a single, self-deployable container that runs on any Docker or Kubernetes host. Its web-based GUI gives operators full control over containers, images, volumes, networks, stacks, and secrets without touching a terminal—making containerization accessible to developers and ops teams alike.
The platform supports Docker Engine, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Podman, and Azure Container Instances from a unified dashboard. A RESTful API mirrors every GUI action, enabling automation workflows alongside manual management. Portainer deploys on Linux or Windows, requires no external database, and can be up and running in seconds with a single Docker command.
Portainer Community Edition is the free, open-source tier covering the core management experience. The Business Edition extends it with granular role-based access control, LDAP and OIDC/SSO integration, GitOps-driven deployments, multi-cluster fleet management for edge nodes, activity auditing, and commercial support—features targeted at teams operating containers at scale.
With over 37,000 GitHub stars, more than 5,500 commits, and an active release cadence averaging multiple releases per month, Portainer is one of the most widely adopted open-source container management solutions available.
