How do I use Portainer?

Apps 101 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Portainer is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Open the link in the Panel address row and enter the details from the Login and Password rows.

Your first stack

  1. On the home page, choose the local environment.
  2. On the Stacks page, click Add stack and paste your Compose file.
  3. Start it with Deploy the stack.

Good to know

  • Anyone who can reach Portainer can reach the whole server, so do not share your password.
  • Caddy, in front of Portainer, uses ports 80 and 443. Publish your stacks on other ports.

No server yet? Order a server with Portainer installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
