Portainer

Using the Portainer container management platform as a graphical user interface for Docker.

Specify the data directory replace_data_directory.
Choose a container name replace_container and a volume name replace_volume.
No container ports are published, so specify the network replace_network defined to serve behind a reverse proxy.

Create the directory and the volume.



data_directory="replace_data_directory" # data_directory=/data/services

container=replace_container # container=portainer
volume=replace_volume # volume=portainer
network=replace_network # network=services

sudo mkdir --parents "$data_directory/portainer"
sudo chmod --recursive a+rwX "$data_directory/portainer/"

docker volume create \
--name $volume \
--driver local-persist \
--opt mountpoint="$data_directory/portainer/"

Configure the reverse proxy. Put the configuration file to the web server directory. Set the Portainer hostname replace_container in the configuration file to forward requests to the container. Apply the web server configuration.



container_caddy=replace_container_caddy # container_caddy=caddy

cp portainer.caddy "$data_directory/caddy/configuration/"
docker container restart $container_caddy

Start the container.



docker run --detach --restart unless-stopped \
--name $container \
--hostname $container \
--network $network \
--mount type=volume,source=$volume,destination=/data \
--mount type=bind,source=/var/run/docker.sock,destination=/var/run/docker.sock \
--mount type=bind,source=/etc/timezone,destination=/etc/timezone,readonly \
--mount type=bind,source=/etc/localtime,destination=/etc/localtime,readonly \
portainer/portainer-ce \
--host unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Access the site at the /portainer path and perform configurations.
