Install Portainer Docker Web GUI on Linux

#Introduction

In this tutorial, How to Install Portainer Docker Web GUI on Linux. Portainer is a web-based management UI for Docker hosts.

Install Portainer Docker

I have installed docker on My computer. First, Create a Docker volume portainer_data

$ docker volume create portainer_data
Or,
$ sudo docker volume create portainer_data

Example:

[root@DockerServer ~]# docker volume create portainer_data
portainer_data
[root@DockerServer ~]# docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               portainer_data

Create a Portainer Docker container.

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

-d – the container runs in the background
-p 8000: 8000 – Releases the corresponding ports on the host system of Docker
–Name = Portainer – To easily identify the container created for Portainer Docker
–Restart = always – The container is always restarted here.
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock – Specifies that the container is allowed to access the Docker socket storage.
-v portainer_data: / data – Created storage “portainer_data” to the storage folder “/data” within the container.

Example:

[root@DockerServer ~]# 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
