I’m a very happy user of Rancher 1.6 for years. Simple, nice GUI, got everything I need, works fast, can deploy as many apps /services as you wish, no new concepts to learn (if you know Docker that is).
Used it in my previous agency to manage clients websites and use it now in my startup to manage multiple envs with few apps (api, front end, workers) and nice and easy deployments via GitLab CI.
I’ve been using Rancher for years. Version 2 is all about K8s, but version 1 is super simple to set up and manage with a nice and clean GUI and pretty much no new concepts.
Unfortunately version 1 is abandoned now (I think) but it’s stable and I haven’t had any problems with it. Give it a go.
