Portainer IS super heavy, but also pretty great. And any running container can be exec’d into with a button click in Portainer. I also like the app browser to look at new available containers
I think you meant to reply to my comment on not liking Portainer. I go into more detail into why it's not good in the thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/17tvvyx/early_santa_what_is_missing_in_selfhosted/k9008gi/
For what I use it for, Portainer feels like using a dump truck to carry groceries. Sure, it gets the job done, but I'm not using half of it, and there are a bunch of things that I'd like to do with it that are either way too complex, or just missing. For instance, it should be able to set up simple scripts, like "run this container every night", or "restart this container once a week", or "upgrade these containers automatically".
So to address the complaints about portainer being too heavy the dev of uptime kuma made dockge: https://github.com/louislam/dockge
