When NOT to use tugtainer
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Skip tugtainer if your project requires integration with proprietary container management systems not aligned with its open-source Python and Angular framework.
- Avoid it if you prefer a command-line interface over web-based tools for managing updates, as tugtainer is designed around a web UI.
