Portainer is definitely useful (I use it on a daily basis), but probably a bad place to start…
I started with the following progression:
- Docker CLI
- Docker-Compose
- Writing my own scripts to build and manage docker-compose configs (purely optional and skippable)
- Portainer
- Purely optional, but in a professional setting, kubernetes and various container orchestration tools.
Good luck in your journey!
That is AWESOME! Congrats!
Yes that’s right, portainer stacks equate to compose… I might be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere a while back that they (and other container orchestration tools) were not permitted to reference “Docker” or its products (including compose) due to legal and licensing restrictions by Docker.
Not to the level of Reddit, but Docker has its fair share of questionable business decisions.
