Portainer helps you take control of the Docker resources on your machine, avoiding lengthy terminal commands.<\/p>\n<p>Portainer recently reached version 2.0 which added support for Kubernetes clusters. The tool also supports Docker Swarm and Azure ACI environments. In this tutorial, we\u2019ll be keeping it simple and using Portainer to manage a local Docker installation.<\/p>\n<p>Two editions of the software are available, the free and open-source CE and commercial Business. The extra capabilities of Business are mostly focused on enhanced access, quota management, and administrator controls.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"install-portainer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_Portainer\"><\/span>Install Portainer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you\u2019ve got Docker installed and running before proceeding any further. Docker 19.01 is required for all Portainer features to be fully supported.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you\u2019ll need to create a new Docker volume. Portainer will use this to store its persistent data. Ours is going to be called <code>portainer_data<\/code>.<\/p>\n<pre>docker volume create portainer_data<\/pre>\n<p>Next, use Docker to start a new Portainer container:<\/p>\n<pre>docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=unless-stopped -v \/var\/run\/docker.sock:\/var\/run\/docker.sock -v portainer_data:\/data portainer\/portainer-ce<\/pre>\n<p>This command will pull the <code>portainer\/portainer-ce<\/code> image and start a new container from it. The container will be detached and executing in the background (<code>-d<\/code>).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/285f1fa170cc8c31b563960c0d2fdb4c\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/d972b884.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's endpoints dashboard\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The volume created earlier is mounted to <code>\/data<\/code> within the container, where Portainer stores all its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication data. The host\u2019s Docker socket is also mounted into the container, so that Portainer has access to your machine\u2019s Docker instance. Finally, port 9000 on the host is bound to port 9000 within the container. This is the port Portainer exposes its web UI on.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"first-run\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Run\"><\/span>First Run<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can now login to Portainer by visiting <code>http:\/\/localhost:9000<\/code> in your browser. You\u2019ll need to set a password for the <code>admin<\/code> user upon first use. You\u2019ll then land on the Home screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/301ba819498a82cc2dc1afbec47b0400\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/07fb6516.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's settings screen\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Before beginning to use Portainer, it\u2019s worth looking at the app\u2019s own configuration options. Click the \u201cSettings\u201d link in the left navigation menu. Here, you can change Portainer security settings, set a custom application logo and opt out of anonymous usage statistics collection. Most of the settings should be fairly self-explanatory, with the majority focused on limiting the power afforded to non-administrator users.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/3f149a629b28737ca6c18bf37f612cc4\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/66976382.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's authentication settings\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cAuthentication\u201d submenu in the navigation bar lets you configure how users login to Portainer. Portainer uses its own internal user management system by default but you can choose to use an existing LDAP server or OAuth provider. Select the method to use and then fill out the form fields to setup your preferred authentication system. When using the built-in users database, you can use the \u201cUsers\u201d link in the sidemenu to create additional users and sort them into teams.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"endpoints\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Endpoints\"><\/span>Endpoints<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Portainer lets you manage multiple Docker endpoints. To begin with, you\u2019ll see a single \u201clocal\u201d endpoint, representing the Docker Engine running on your own machine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/be5bb8fc4371ba04d1199d527e8e1a70\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9b7a698d.jpeg\" alt=\"Managing endpoints in Portainer\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To add an additional endpoint, click the \u201cEndpoints\u201d link in the sidebar. Next, click the blue \u201cAdd endpoint\u201d button. Choose the type of endpoint you\u2019ll be using and supply your connection details.<\/p>\n<p>All being well, you\u2019ll be able to add your endpoint. It\u2019ll show up as a new selectable tile on the Portainer homescreen. Detailed guidance on adding additional endpoints is outside the scope of this introductory guide as success will require correct configuration of the host you\u2019re connecting to.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"managing-containers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Managing_Containers\"><\/span>Managing Containers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re now ready to begin using Portainer to interact with Docker. From the homescreen, click your \u201clocal\u201d endpoint. It will become selected within Portainer, giving you access to the full management UI. You\u2019ll arrive at a simple dashboard giving you an overview of your containers, images and volumes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/6a186552d99552489300e7abcafb8f3b\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0b17107c.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's dashboard\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cContainers\u201d on the dashboard or in the sidebar to open the container management screen.

You can now use the button row at the top of the screen to start, stop, restart or remove the container. Containers which are currently running will show a green \u201crunning\u201d state while stopped ones get a red \u201cstopped\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a fresh Docker installation, your only container might be Portainer itself. Take care not to stop this container, as it\u2019s serving the Portainer web UI you\u2019re using!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/f82270ff8174eb2f9b9067dae1bf7b51\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cc143c01.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's container details screen\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click the name of a container to view and change its details. This screen allows you to inspect the container\u2019s properties, create a new Docker image from its current state and manage its network connections.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the screen, you\u2019ll find five buttons under \u201cContainer status\u201d that allow you to view the container\u2019s logs (\u201cLogs\u201d), inspect its Docker manifest (\u201cInspect\u201d), view resource usage statistics (\u201cStats\u201d), access an interactive console (\u201cConsole\u201d) or attach a console to the foreground process in the container (\u201cAttach\u201d).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"create-a-container\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Container\"><\/span>Create a Container<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create a new container, return to the Containers screen and click the blue \u201cAdd container\u201d button. You may also edit an existing container \u2013 effectively destroying it and replacing it with a new one with modified properties \u2013 by using the \u201cDuplicate\/Edit\u201d button on the container details screen. Both operations display the same interface.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/1a4a0e56907eafda8372cb8b030f5c7a\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/f83f0fbd.jpeg\" alt=\"Creating a container in Portainer\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>First, type a name for your new container. Next, specify the Docker image to use.

Click the \u201cRegistries\u201d link under the Settings heading in the left sidebar. Press the blue \u201cAdd registry\u201d button and define the URL, username and password of your registry. You\u2019ll then be able to select it in the \u201cRegistry\u201d dropdown on the container creation screen. You may also use the Registries screen to set credentials for Docker Hub connections, allowing you to pull private images and avoid the rate limits applied to unauthenticated users.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re now ready to deploy your container by pressing the \u201cDeploy the container\u201d button at the bottom of the form. Before proceeding, review the additional settings which are displayed above the button. You can configure port binding, force Portainer to pull the image before deploying and choose to remove the container automatically when it exits.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/1181933e0837a4d9aad06deda2ee0453\/p\/uploads\/2021\/01\/0659081b.jpeg\" alt=\"Portainer's advanced container settings\" width=\"1268\" height=\"658\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the screen, you\u2019ll find an advanced settings UI that offers even more options \u2013 too many to cover exhaustively here. These replicate the entire functionality of the <code><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.docker.com\/engine\/reference\/run\/\">docker run<\/a><\/code> CLI command, enabling you to set up the container\u2019s command, entrypoint, volumes, network interfaces and environment variables.

The Images screen allows you to view, pull, import, export and delete the images available on your endpoint. The Networks and Volumes screens act similarly, enumerating and providing control over their respective resources.
