Hmm, the only thing I found lacking from Portainer is probably the way logs are presented. It’s all clumped together, although having lines is helpful, but sometimes it’s still very messy.
Perhaps syntax highlighting for logs, and probably alternating background colors would have helped a lot.
But to be very honest, even if Darklens has that feature, I’d still prefer to use Portainer because I can spin up instances, manage and even execute directly into the docker container shell right from Portainer. Doesn’t make sense to have another overhead on top of Portainer just for pretty logging.
Unless somehow Darklens is an app that does that one thing only. View logs in a pretty environment. Keeps the overhead small enough to actually make it worth it. And also, allow viewing the logs of the host machine, not just docker applications.
