+%description
+Portainer is a lightweight management UI which allows you to easily manage
+your different Docker environments (Docker hosts or Swarm clusters).
+Portainer is meant to be as simple to deploy as it is to use.
+It consists of a single container that can run on any Docker engine
+(can be deployed as Linux container or a Windows native container).
+Portainer allows you to manage your Docker containers, images, volumes,
+networks and more ! It is compatible with the standalone Docker engine and with Docker Swarm mode.
