Not trying to be an ass but can you explain what you mean by this in more depth? docker (especially docker-compose) is a write-once and forget concept. How could this be made easier? I realize selecting a drop down is a little bit easier than typing in a path but not much.
No its fine, I get everyone has a different opinion on things.
Having the install via a point and click or drop down is definitely a really nice quality of life feature. The last time I was routinely using command line to install and manage applications was back in the Windows 3.11 (1993) days which was fine back then but its 2020 now.
These days I tend to avoid it unless I have no other option. Usually for things like setting low level hardware configuration of a HBA or a Mellonax card or something, but its unavoidable in those situations.
But it is beyond the initial installation in this case. If I need to modify any app network settings (which happens occasionally), start, stop the jail/docker/app/plug-in's etc. After the initial setup probably about 99% of the app management in FreeNAS can be done in the actual jail/plug-in application or in the FreeNAS GUI itself. I don't need to flip into Portainer/Cockpit or use the Docker command line to adjust or update something. It is just really nice being able to see and interact with everything in the same spot in the GUI.
I get at least on the surface this looks like an intent to bring popular Linux features into the OMV but that is not really what I am looking for a NAS OS.
I am not knocking the command line for folks who love that but its not something I particularly enjoy or a feature I seeking these days.
