**_Portainer_** is a lightweight management UI which allows you to **easily** manage your Docker host or Swarm cluster.

**_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 (Docker for Linux and Docker for Windows are supported).

**_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*.

Please note that the public demo cluster is **reset every 15min**.
