Portainer Version

In this post, I will use the Community Edition.

Prerequisites

  • Docker installed and working on Ubuntu 22.04

Installation

First, create the volume that Portainer Server will use to store its database:

1
docker volume create portainer_data

Then, download and install the Portainer Server container:

1
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Running docker ps:

root@server:~# docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED       STATUS      PORTS                                                                                  NAMES

First, retrieve the stack YML manifest:

1
curl -L https://downloads.portainer.io/ce2-19/portainer-agent-stack.yml -o portainer-agent-stack.yml

Then use the downloaded YML manifest to deploy your stack:

1
docker stack deploy -c portainer-agent-stack.yml portainer

Running docker ps:

Access the Portainer Server on web browser:

Replace localhost with the relevant IP address.
