What is Portarius?
Portarius was a passion project of mine, that I worked on for about a year. It was a mobile app, that connected to Portainer, a container management tool. The app was built using Flutter.
This project is no longer actively maintained. While the code is still available, it may not be compatible with newer versions of Portainer.
Portarius 2.0
I was working on a new version of Portarius, that was going to be a complete rewrite of the app. It had a new design, and it was going to be more user-friendly. This is now also abandoned.
This is an old build I found. Since there is no public release of Portarius 2.0, you can use the APK below to install it on your Android device.
Why did I build it?
I built Portarius because I wanted to have a mobile app that I could use to manage my containers on the go. I was using Portainer at the time, and I wanted to have a more mobile-friendly experience.
Why did I abandon it?
I abandoned Portarius because I lost interest in the project. I was working on it alone, and I didn’t have the motivation to continue working on it. I also started working on other projects, and I didn’t have the time to maintain it.
If you’re looking for a simpler alternative to Portainer, check out Dockge - it’s free, supports multiple nodes, and has excellent mobile support!
What’s next?
I don’t have any plans to continue working on Portarius. I have not used Portainer in quite some time, and I don’t see myself using it in the future. I might revisit the project if I start using Portainer again, but for now, it’s on hold.
