Creating Your First Container

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

Need to use sudo to get access to docker socket.

sudo docker volume create portainer_data

 

Will return name of container.

 

sudo 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
