This Blog post is meant to give you a better understanding of the process to get Portainer up and running. It will also allow you to see how it interacts with docker, and to learn how Portainer works from a ground roots level. We are installing the latest version of Ubuntu Server and the most recent version of docker. We are also installing an instance of Portainer as a delivery platform for microservices / apps.
Portainer and Docker will make your day-to-day duties easy.
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt -y full-upgrade
- sudo nano -c /etc/hosts

On the master node
a – sudo docker swarm init
b – sudo docker stack deploy -c portainer-agent-stack.yml portainer
On the Worker node use the Following
c – sudo docker swarm join –token
Now let’s login to Portainer
1 – Open your browser and go to the https://server.ip:9443
2 – login to w/admin credentials
Portainer Dashboard -> I choose DockerProd-CE Click on Stacks -> Click Add a Stack Give your stack a name and then copy the docker-compose file in to Web editor
You can copy in your docker-compose file or use an App Template
Click on the Deploy Stack and you should see something similar to the following:
Click on the stack you created
Check and make sure your stack is healthy
Healthy Stack
Click on the Published Ports
This let’s you know you did it properly.
That’s it for now, I hope you learned something and had fun I certainly did writing this. Let me know if you want any other articles. Thank you for coming by and staying for bit.
