Well I like to maintain my Stuff thru webUI as much as possible so Portainer was the perfect solution for that and it is an Docker also so its a win win situation. Here we go:
Install Docker Compose
Once the docker is installed, run the following command to install docker-compose on Ubuntu.
$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Set the permission using the command:
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Configure Portainer
We have installed docker and verified by running the simple docker image. Now we will pull the docker portainer/portainer-ce image (formerly portainer/portainer) and run it as a container. Before running the container, create a persistent docker volume to store portainer data.
$ sudo docker volume create portainer_data
Now create the portainer container using the following command.
$ sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 8000:8000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /srv/portainer:/data portainer/portainer-ce
Where:
- -d => Run the container in detached mode
- -p => Map the container’s port with docker host port
- –name => Name of the container
- -v => Volume Map
Output :
Please note that the screenshot still uses the old portainer/portainer package, use the new package portainer/portainer-ce instead as used in the updated command above the screenshot.
Run the following command to check the container status
$ sudo docker ps -a
Output :
Portainer is running on port 9000. Browse your server’s IP address with port 9000 in the browser and create a user.
After creating the user, you will be able to find the portainer’s dashboard. You can manage different docker resources like volumes, containers, networks and images from the UI manager
