Portainer is a popular open-source management interface for Docker. It allows you to easily manage your Docker containers, images, volumes, and networks through a web-based user interface.
Before we begin, you need to make sure that you have Docker installed on your Manjaro system. You can install Docker by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S docker
The easiest way to install Portainer on Manjaro is by using Docker Compose. Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
Open a terminal or command prompt in Manjaro.
Create a new directory for Portainer:
mkdir portainer
cd portainer
Create a new docker-compose.yml file using any text editor you prefer, such as nano or vim.
Add the following content to the docker-compose.yml file:
version: "3"
services:
portainer:
image: portainer/portainer
command: --no-auth
ports:
- "9000:9000"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- portainer_data:/data
volumes:
portainer_data:
Save and close the file.
Run the following command in the terminal to start the Portainer container:
docker-compose up -d
This command will download the Portainer image, create a new container based on the image, and start the container in the background.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:9000 to access the Portainer web interface.
Note: If you're running Manjaro on a remote machine, replace localhost with the IP address of the machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Portainer on Manjaro using Docker Compose. Now you can use Portainer to manage your Docker containers, images, volumes, and networks with ease.
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!
