Top 23 Portainer Open-Source Projects
-
Since I'm not using Kubernetes/K3S to manage the orchestration, I simply use Docker Compose files, which I manage in folders and track with Git. Secrets and credentials are stored securely using .env files — nothing is hardcoded. For maintenance, I use Portainer. The whole Docker management and Ubuntu itself run on the internal SSD for the fastest speed possible, ensuring no other services interfere.

This year, I was unable to make my repo "ready" for Hacktoberfest, but I got some PRs on the non-technical front on the DevOps repo. In case you didn't know about this DevOps repo, it is one of the most popular open source repos in the world to learn DevOps with a whopping 2.8k+ GitHub stars.
