IT/Software/Portainer

Setup Portainer Now that Docker and Docker Composer are installed, follow the steps below to get Portainer setup.

You can use Docker command to deploy the Portainer Server; note the agent is not needed on standalone hosts, however, it does provide additional functionality if used.

To get the server installed, run the commands below.

cd ~/ docker volume create portainer_data docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer

You’ll just need to access the port 9000 of the Docker engine where Portainer is running using your browser.

After a successful pull, you should get a similar message as below:

latest: Pulling from portainer/portainer d1e017099d17: Pull complete a7dca5b5a9e8: Pull complete Digest: sha256:4ae7f14330b56ffc8728e63d355bc4bc7381417fa45ba0597e5dd32682901080 Status: Downloaded newer image for portainer/portainer:latest 2fd5f4a0883a9d358ad424fd963699445be8839f3e6a2cf73d55778bcc268523 At this point, all you need to do is access Portainer portal to manage Docker. Open your web browser and browse to the server’s hostname or IP address followed by port #9000

http://localhost:9000 You should get Portainer login page to create an admin password.

Submit a new password.

Now you see some options to choose the environment you want to manage.

Since we installed Docker on the same machine, select to connect and manage Docker locally.

You’ll be directed to Portainer dashboard where you can start managing Docker. Browse around and begin setting up your environment. If you had Docker installed on a remote computer, you’ll have to install Portainer agent on the server.

Once signed in you need to go to settings. Under the heading App Template you will see URL. Paste the following URL in there: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SelfhostedPro/selfhosted_templates/master/Template/portainer-v2.json

Now you can click on App Templates on the left site of the screen just below dashboard.

Click on the program you want to install, click on deploy, wait a few seconds and your program is running.

To update portainer, use the following commands:

sudo docker stop portainer

sudo docker rm portainer

sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest

sudo docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
