A hands-on comparison of Portainer and Dockhand as Docker container management UIs for home lab and NAS setups. Dockhand is presented as a lighter, more feature-rich alternative to Portainer, offering file browsing, directory transfers, auto-update capabilities, and vulnerability scanning via Grype and Trivy. It also supports Podman and integrates directly with TrueNAS 26's Docker-based backend, making it a practical choice for managing containers across bare-metal, VM, and NAS environments.
