Creating Your First Container

https://docs.portainer.io/start/install-ce/server/docker/linux

 

docker volume create portainer_data

 

Will return name of container.

 

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:2.21.5

 

This adds port 9000, which isn't used by default.  This allows Portainer to be accessed through HTTP instad of HTTPS.

 

Docker will download the image and start the container.

 

docker ps

 

Go to localhost:9000
