9. TryDirect offers two options for your web application stack Portainer and Status Panel. With Portainer you can manage docker images, containers, environments etc. The Status Panel is used to help you activate/deactivate SSL certificates. Here you can also check the status of all deployed services on your server. Right after the stack is successfully deployed, you will receive an E-mail notification with the link to your server IP address, login and password. Status Panel link will look like this http://your_server_ip:5000

When SSL certificate deployment is done, Status Panel can be deactivated or removed.
