Portainer

How to use Portainer in practice you can see:

• Deploy data to dockerized MySQL and MariaDB
• Dockerizing Linux server

• Install docker

# sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

# curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

# sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

# sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli (without containerd.io - 32 bit (old))



• Run hello-word test

# sudo docker run hello-world



• Install docker composer

# sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose



• Install old potrainer

# cd ~/

# sudo docker volume create portainer_data

# 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




• Run


• Delete old potrainer and update to 2.0

# sudo docker ps -l

# sudo docker stop a06fa940cfd2

# sudo docker rm a06fa940cfd2 

# 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



• But, of course, connection between Portainer and Docker not can be established always.


• In this case connection established, but Portainer now show anything, Images, Containers and so on.


• And, of course, connection between Portainer and Portainer agent not ne established always, I follow this instruction How to use the Agent, but failed to connect to Agent from another host. And even connection to docker in another docker host is impossible. This is my command to start Agent service. And after that I made network public, but still failed to connect to Agent from another host.

# sudo docker service create \

>     --name portainer_agent \

>     --publish mode=host,target=9001,published=9001 \

>     --network portainer_agent_network \

>     --mode global \

>     --constraint 'node.platform.os == linux' \

>     --mount type=bind,src=//var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \

>     --mount type=bind,src=//var/lib/docker/volumes,dst=/var/lib/docker/volumes \

>     portainer/agent



• I don't know how to solve issue with agent, but issue for connection between Potrainer and Docker can be solved by recreation service from same begining (and Portainer user can be root). And this is my command to start Portainer-ce

# sudo  docker service create \

    --name portainer \

    --network portainer_agent_network \

    --publish 9000:9000 \

    --publish 8000:8000 \

    --replicas=1 \

    --constraint 'node.role == manager' \

    portainer/portainer-ce -H "tcp://tasks.portainer_agent:9001" --tlsskipverify



• This is command to restart Portainer to another port with reset password and log to console:

# sudo docker run  -p 9002:9000 -p 8002:8000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer-ce --admin-password=''




Unfortunately, Portainer show something errors and can not connected even to docker in the same machine. Even after Ubuntu reboot. Even without swarm.





It was a good program, but I don't know reason of this issue and must be leave using this program. I have no more time to restore access from Potrainer to docker in the same machine.
