Portainer
Portainer Community Edition is a lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications that can be used to manage Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes and ACI environments. It is designed to be as simple to deploy as it is to use. The application allows you to manage all your orchestrator resources (containers, images, volumes, networks and more) through a ‘smart’ GUI and/or an extensive API.
Portainer consists of a single container that can run on any cluster. It can be deployed as a Linux container or a Windows native container.
Introduction
Portainer consists of two elements, the Portainer Server, and the Portainer Agent. Both elements run as lightweight Docker containers on a Docker engine. This document will help you install the Portainer Server container on your Linux environment. To add a new Linux environment to an existing Portainer Server installation, please refer to the Portainer Agent Installation Instructions section of this guide.
- The latest version of Docker installed and working
- sudo access on the machine that will host your Portainer Server instance
- By default, Portainer Server will expose the UI over port
9443and expose a TCP tunnel server over port8000.- The latter is optional and is only required if you plan to use the Edge compute features with Edge agents.
