What is Portainer?

Portainer is a popular Docker UI that helps you visualize your containers, images, volumes and networks. Portainer helps you take control of the Docker resources on your machine, avoiding lengthy terminal commands.

Installation

{.tabset}

TrueNAS

  1. Change Portainer Data Storage to Host Path. 
  2. Change the Port to 9443 since that is the default for Portainer and is referenced in all their documentation.

Docker

Note that Docker has to be installed before you can follow these steps! {.is-warning}

Docker Run

Run all of these commands in sequence:

docker volume create portainer_data
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Docker Compose

services:
  portainer:
    image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest
    container_name: portainer
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
      - 9443:9443
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /mnt/tank/configs/portainer:/data
