- Simplifies the deployment and management of containerized services (Docker, Kubernetes…)
- Portainer supports multi-cluster environments.
How #

docker-compose-portainer.yaml
volumes:
portainer_data:

- "9443:9443"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- portainer_data:/data
restart: always
run with:
docker compose -f docker-compose-portainer.yaml up -d
access Portainer at https://localhost:9443
Setup Portainer docker agent #
On remote server set the agent with docker-compose
docker-compose-portainer-agent.yaml
services:
portainer-agent:
image: portainer/agent:2.21.5
container_name: portainer-agent
ports:
- "9001:9001"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes
restart: always
run with:
docker compose -f docker-compose-portainer-agent.yaml up -d
