OK, so here is a challenge im setting for our community..

Lets see just how big of a Portainer Edge deployment we can get up and running..

If you have the ability to spin up a Docker environment in your home lab, or free cloud tier, and want to connect it (temporarily) to a public Portainer instance (read only) to see how big we can go... then I would love your help.

Do not do this on your REAL docker environments obviously, only do this if you have a spare RPi, VM, or something that you can spare.

Once you have Docker running, run the below script on the node..

docker run -d \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes \
-v /:/host \
-v portainer_agent_data:/data \
--restart always \
-e EDGE=1 \
-e EDGE_ID=$hostname \
-e EDGE_KEY=aHR0cHM6Ly9zY2FsZWRlbW8ucG9ydGFpbmVyLmlvfHNjYWxlZGVtby5wb3J0YWluZXIuaW86ODAwMHxhMzo5MjoyZTo2MDo0Mzo0NDo5ZDpiNToxMzo2ZDpjMDpjMToxNToyZjphNTo1M3ww \
-e EDGE_INSECURE_POLL=1 \
--name portainer_edge_agent \
portainer/agent:2.14.2

And then you can navigate to https://scaledemo.portainer.io and login as "looknsee" with a password of "thisisfun"
