This template uses the official Portainer Docker image to quickly set up a Portainer instance. It is used for graphical Docker management and gives more information than unRAID itself.

Thanks! easy to install, easy to set up. Liking it so far!

I really like this setup but I have a question. Under volumes, it says I have 170 unused volumes? Is there a way to tell what these volumes contain?

It shows all the Docker volumes, that you can usually see with "docker volume list". By default these get mounted to /var/lib/docker/volumes/[volume id]/_data and are used by the container internally. More on Docker volumes.

Looks cool but I cant seem to get it to run. Just dies with a (1) and a

Same here.

What is the default user account and password for Portainer?   I tried passing in --no-auth as an additional argument but I can not get past the login page for the WebUI.

 

Thank You.

As of July 4th this is still an issue.

 

Without the ''--no-auth" flag (in post-arguments not additional) it asks for username and password (of which no sane default combination seems to work; with this argument it asks you to set one but fails, as auth is disabled, but goes no further. I have deleted the entire `/mnt/user/appdata/portainer` folder and still no joy for either method.

I installed the docker and was able to change my password but it won't actually connect to anything within UNRaid's dockers? 

Anyone have any ideas?

The version 1.24 with the repo is deprecated. The new version of portainer 2.0 is published in portainer/portainer-ce. Can you change the template ?

Can i update the container when i change the "Repository" from portainer/portainer to portainer/portainer-ce ? 

 

Here the note from Docker Hub / Portainer:

NOTE, This repo, portainer/portainer is the home of Portainer v1.24.x, and is now deprecated; all new releases for Portainer 2.0 will be published in portainer/portainer-ce

I just edited the repo to be portainer-ce and it upgraded just fine.

This template's docker-compose is limited to versions below 3 because it actually uses libcompose to interpret the docker-compose.yml scripts which is limited:

 

 

I got it to work using a recent Beta that supports version 3 of docker-compose scripts because it uses the actual docker-compose binary:

 

 

I just had to change:

 

Repository -> portainerci/portainer:2.1

Docker Hub URL -> https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/portainerci/portainer/

 

 

Now I can use modern deployment stacks for stuff like discourse and artifactory.

@SFyffe

There is no default password. You get to set it when you first log in. The username is still admin.

 

If you still can't get it to work (you already set it to something but forgot it), you can reset it like this:

1- Stop the Portainer Container

2- Run:

 

$ docker run --rm -v portainer_data:/data portainer/helper-reset-password

3- Start the Portainer Container and login with the above credentials

How do you use docker compose with this? I have the beta installed like you instructed in this post.

Click on Stacks in left frame.

 

 

Then click on Add Stack

 

 

Give it a name and use the default Web Editor to paste your docker-compose.yml file

 

Will the CA template get upgraded to 2.x anytime soon?

Changing the repository to portainer/portainer-ce worked for me.  I have 2.6.1 running now.

im trying to reset my password but i keep getting unable to locate /datat/portainer.db on disk

docker run --rm -v /mnt/user/appdata/portainer:/data portainer/helper-reset-password

Sorry, but I just installed the app and can't set or reset my credentials. Is there a way to upload my own app as this one is just rubbish?

I don't know what the default credentials are and when I try to reset the password I get the following error message "Unable to locate /data/portainer.db on disk".

Edited September 17, 20241 yr by Tafa

I wasn't able to login to my Portainer app so I ran docker run --rm -v /mnt/user/appdata/portainer:/data portainer/helper-reset-password

 

It gave me a new password but when I try to login with it I get an error stating "Unable to retrieve user details: Unauthorized"

clarification

Dear all,

im trying to understand the Storage Path,

if i create a Volume in Portainer it creates it in /var/lib/docker/volumes instead of /mnt/user/appdata/portainer

what can i do to tell the agent to create it in /mnt/user/appdata/portainer?

 

 

Thank you

Its because portainer needs v3 and the one i assume you are using is v2 templates
