Maybe set up Portainer.io with a docker image?

@DBGamer@lemmy.ml · 3 years ago

Interesting, the docs are confusing though even in https://documentation.portainer.io/v2.0/deploy/ceinstalldocker/ it doesn’t seems to explains standalones clearly. I am confused if I would need both a “standalone” host or if I would need to also install the agent? If I do does the agent needs to installed on yet another VPS?

Documentation mentions that for Swarms (clusters) the agent is recommended. For standalone, which is most probably what you want I guess, the agent is not needed. So I guess :

docker volume create portainer_data

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce

is all you need to do on your new VPS in order to get the web admin interface up.

edit - Though it would be nice to have SSL which does look like a more difficult step to me : https://documentation.portainer.io/v2.0/deploy/ssl/

Indeed, it does seems complicated to get a SSL going. As it doesn’t even seems like it will do a self sign by default?

https://wiki.debian.org/Self-Signed_Certificate -> make-ssl-cert is the name of the script to create a self signed SSL cert.

That is also interesting but I am still confused on how would either Let’s Encrypt/this would be used so that Portainer can use these. Since it gotta be in a certain place right?

I’d like to check out how this works as I am curious about the options with Portainer.

@DBGamer@lemmy.ml · 3 years ago

Awesome seems good, thanks for the additional feedbacks so I am able to be made aware. :)

Indeed now of days I don’t think certbot is that hard to run as you can tell it to do it as a temporary web server. So you can skip some steps. However I don’t know what to do with the cert once it been provisioned by Let’s Encrypt so that Portainer “can use it”.
