Docker - Install Portainer

Create a volume to host Portainer data

docker volume create portainer_data

returns

portainer_data

NOTE: Portainer requires data persistence, and as a result needs at least one storage-class available to use.

Portainer will attempt to use the default storage class during deployment.

If you do NOT have a storage class tagged as default the deployment will likely fail.

docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data --restart always portainer/portainer

NOTE: This will run the container to pull, install and ensure it is always running.

docker ps

Portainer will prompt you to set up a new password for your admin user.

Click Local and Connect.

NOTE: If using a remote Docker then select the appropriate Remote option.
