Portainer is an open-source management UI for Docker, and it can be used to manage containers, images, networks, and volumes from your web browser. Here's how to install Portainer on Arch Linux.
If you don't already have Docker installed on your system, you can install it with this command:
sudo pacman -S docker
To install Portainer, you can use Docker. Here's the command to run the Portainer container:
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer
This command will pull the Portainer image and run it as a container with the name "portainer". It will also map the container's port 9000 to your system's port 9000, and mount the Docker socket as a volume.
Now that Portainer is running, you can access it by going to http://localhost:9000 in your web browser. You should see the Portainer login page.
To create an admin account, enter your desired username and password, and click the "Create user" button. Once the account is created, you'll be logged into Portainer and can start managing Docker.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install and configure Portainer on Arch Linux. With Portainer, you can easily manage your Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes from a web browser.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
