Portainer's popped up a couple of times late last year, and there were a few discussions around it (and others).

Most of these solutions/management UIs/etc. focus on delivering some form of simple stack management, metrics, and infrastructure provisioning, but one thing I've yet to see is application lifecycle management (this is not a criticism of Portainer, more of an overall gap in the market I think needs addressing).

I'd love to see something with more obvious CI/CD hooks and a good UI that let me follow the build and deployment status of an entire stack -- this may not seem like a good direct fit for the likes of Portainer, but after a few deploys you'd probably like to have comparable metrics between releases, etc.

Check out https://www.distelli.com - We do a lot of lifecycle management stuff esp around Kubernetes. Not so much around docker swarm though but its on our roadmap.

Not sure what you are missing exactly, since I don't know Portainer, but Rancher [1] (am not affiliated in any way) has a UI and CLI for lifecycle management of stacks which integrates nicely with CI scripts.

Yeah, the gist of the article was just to show some of the capabilities. In essence, Portainer is just a wrapper around the Docker API. So I wouldn't use it as a management tool, much rather as a quick and dirty checkup tool.

You might want to check out Red Hat's OpenShift, we just deployed it at the end of November and it's been great to have dockerized deployments as simple as a "git push" to our master branch.

Yet again, look for Rancher :). http://rancher.com/

have you looked at gitlab ci?

Sounds like exactly what calm.io was doing before they were acquired.
