Nowadays we use a lot in our Dev and Prod environments this incredible container tool called Docker.
Docker is installed on your operating system and through commands (this link) you can manage it through Terminal / Cmd.
But as the console sometimes ends up not being so friendly, especially when you have an environment with many images came up this wonderful tool called portainer.io.
The portainer is a Web interface where it runs locally (inside your Docker) and it is possible to manage the images, among several other options as shown below:

Containers:

To perform the installation and configuration of the portainer it is necessary to have Docker installed and running.

Then run the following commands:

docker volume create portainer_data

docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer

After installation go to the address http://localhost:9000 in your browser and you will have to create a password for the admin.

Then, everything is ready! It is very nice tool, and you can also install the images through the App Templates menu:
