Portainer-setup

Introduction

Portainer is a container manager, its use enables a developer to easily manager all of their various containers. For my own project, this application will be used as a backbone of the Jenkins, Sonar & Rancher servers. Using Portainer in this environment wil allow for easy configuration changes.

Execution

To set this up I created a new virtual machine with the following specs:

RAM: 4GB

CPU: 1 core (3700x AMD Ryzen)

Storage: 40GB

It is reached via: 10.0.0.34:22

And I manage it via MobaXTerm SSH manager

This server runs on my own infrastructure.

First I had to install a clean Ubuntu VM, I chose 20.04 LTS as the stable solution.

After installation:

apt install docker.io

And then once that was finished installing, the command to install portainer and have it be served:

sudo 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

Setup the dashboard via https://10.0.0.34:9443/#!/auth (only reachable when in my network, this will not work from the outside.)

Then I added my first docker container; the Nginx reverse Proxy Manager (and this is how you’re able to view se6.oksolution.nl publicly & securely.)
