Portainer Installation Guide

This guide provides all the key information and getting-started instructions after a successful Portainer CE installation via DeploySage-CLI.

First-Time Setup

Portainer is now running as a Docker container. To complete the setup, you need to create your administrator account via the web interface.

Container Management

Portainer is managed as a Docker container itself. You can use standard Docker commands to control it.

# Check the status of the Portainer container
sudo docker ps

# View Portainer's logs
sudo docker logs portainer

# Stop the Portainer container
sudo docker stop portainer

# Start the Portainer container
sudo docker start portainer

Data Persistence

All of Portainer's configuration and data are stored in a persistent Docker volume.

This ensures that your settings, user accounts, and configurations are safe even if you stop, remove, or upgrade the Portainer container. Do not manually delete this volume unless you want to start with a fresh Portainer installation.
