Portainer is a platform-independent, lightweight management UI for Docker. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Portainer on Void Linux.
First, we need to install the curl utility. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S curl
Next, we need to pull the Portainer image from Docker Hub. Run the following command:
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest
Now, we need to create a directory where Portainer will store its configuration and data. Run the following command to create the directory:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/portainer/data
We are now ready to start the Portainer container. Run the following command:
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /opt/portainer/data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
This command will start the Portainer container, expose its UI on port 9000, and bind the /var/run/docker.sock and /opt/portainer/data directories to the container.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000. You will be redirected to the Portainer setup wizard. Follow the prompts to set up your Portainer administrator account.
You have successfully installed Portainer on Void Linux. You can now use Portainer to manage your Docker environment.
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!
