Portainer is an open-source container management solution that allows you to manage Docker containers more effectively. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Portainer on NetBSD.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
Log in to your NetBSD machine as the root user.
To install Portainer, run the following command in the terminal:
docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer
This command will download the Portainer image and run it in a container with the name 'portainer'. The '-v' option allows the container to interact with the Docker daemon on the host machine.
http://<your_netbsd_ip_address>:9000. You should see the Portainer login page.To log in to Portainer, create a new admin account by entering your preferred username and password in the registration fields.
Once you have successfully registered, log in to Portainer with your new admin credentials.
To manage Docker containers from Portainer, you need to connect Portainer to your Docker daemon.
Click on the 'Endpoints' tab in the left-hand menu, and then click on the 'Add Endpoint' button.
Select 'Docker' as the type of endpoint, and enter the necessary details in the configuration form.
Click the 'Connect' button to establish a connection between Portainer and your Docker daemon.
Once the connection is established, you should be able to see your Docker containers in the 'Containers' tab of the Portainer interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Portainer on NetBSD and connected it to your Docker daemon. You can now use Portainer to manage your Docker containers more efficiently.
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!
