Docker - Install Portainer

Portainer is a lightweight management UI which allows you to easily manage your different Docker environments.

Install Portainer

This is always one of the first container to pull and run, because like me you are lazy and cannot remember more than 2 lines of code.

docker volume create portainer_data

returns

portainer_data

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

NOTE: This will run the container to pull, install and ensure it is always running.

docker ps

Portainer will prompt you to set up a new password for your admin user.

Click Local and Connect.

NOTE: If using a remote Docker then select the appropriate Remote option.
