Getting started

Im a big lover of ubuntu so we installed this.

After that we installed docker and docker compose.
I followed the instructions on this website:
https://greenwebpage.com/community/how-to-install-and-use-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-24-04/

And in order to manage docker then using Portainer is our poison to use.
Run the following command to pull the Portainer image from Docker Hub:

# sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Then, start the Portainer container by running the following command:

# sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer-ce:latest

The above command will start a Portainer container in the background and bind it to the port 9000.

You can now access the Portainer web interface by opening a web browser and visiting http://your-IP-address:9000.

You should get Portainer login page to create an admin password. Set your admin user and password and click on the Create user button.

You will be asked to select the Docker environment that you want to manage. Select “Proceed using the local environment which Portainer is running in”

You should see the following page:
