Firstly, this post is not to celebrate somebody losing their job, nor to poke fun at a company struggling in today’s market.
However, it might go some way to explaining why Portainer are tightening up the free Business plan from 5 to 3 nodes

My time at Portainer came to an end in May due to restructuring/layoffs. I am proud of the work the team and I put in. Being the Head of Marketing is challenging but I am thankful for the personal growth and all that we accomplished. Monday starts the search for my next role!
There’s also Yacht.
I started with Yacht and moved to Portainer. Yacht’s ui was just too heavy and unresponsive for me. I got logged out of sessions without it actually telling me almost every time I used Yacht. I would have to log out and in again just to use it (a process that often freezed up as well for reasons I cannot comprehend). I finally had enough and switched to Portainer; not a single complaint since.
Used it for a bit but I didn’t like how you have to deploy things from templates which are basically compose files that don’t look like compose files.
They’re 1-1 compose files.
The app just saves them as compose files and then runs docker compose in the backend.
it is EXTREMELY barebones
I put the sample template (https://yacht.sh/docs/Templates/Templates/) into a file named docker-compose.yml and Docker said the syntax was invalid. Are you saying I can give Yacht a compose file and it’s cool with it?
Ah, no not the template files for the individual containers, but the project descriptors are just compose files.
Yacht is pretty much unmaintained.
