I love the fact you don't just copy and paste commands, but actually explain what they're doing. Therefore, you became one of my favorite youtubers some while back. Keep up the good work!

UPDATE: if you are following this video and you can't find the Settings -> Enpoints on 11:03 , Please note that it has changed to *ENVIRONMENTS* as at version 2.18.4. took me some time to figure that out. Great video

Wow, well done on this video. It's literally the first video I looked at when investigating portainer and I'm impressed. I'm old school and have done docker compose from the command line and now getting ready to set up a new home server with Ubuntu, Docker, Nextcloud, nginx, plex, and more. I may start out with your portainer/nginx setup.

Dear content creator. When you're recording the commands you're typing on screen, would you mind not showing them at the bottom of the screen? This is where the KZfaq controls often appear as an overlay. Other than that, thank you for the awesome content.

3:30 where exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the easy explanation.

Hello Cristian, I hope you are well. I watched this video of yours countless times, the content of this and other videos of yours has helped me a lot, thank you for always sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for tutorial but I keep getting bad gateway error when logging into nginx for first time.

I have watched and learned a lot from you this past three days Thank you

I get internal error when trying to get the ssl certificate.

In your script you might want to change 'jc21/mariadb-aria:10.4' to 'jc21/mariadb-aria:latest', since the 10.4 image doesn't exist anymore by the looks of it, it will throw an error, also little note version 3 works now (also for people confused, endpoint is now called environment)

man i just love you you really make my life easier

i have watched some of your videos and implemented , they awsome. Learned a lot

So good.. thank you. All straight up keyboard strokes and no cut and paste.. very good.. make a course and I buy!

One of the best videos explaining portainer. Excellent

Hats off for this video and the one with nginx, you have a new subscriber, thank you very much keep up the good work !!

If Dr. Evil was a youtuber. Excellent content.

This is such an awesome video! Thank you, Christian.

Chris, thank you so much for your guides, really well explained! 😁😎

Wow, thanks so much! I used this in my setup - it took some tweaking, but in general it was an amazing guide.

Very useful tutorial! Had some issues getting the SSL certficates working but found the problem was in Cloudflare. You have to disable their proxy using the orange cloud icon next to your dns-record and set it to DNS only while installing. Remember to set it back to "proxied" afterwards to hide your IP.

Love this! You introfuced me to nginx proxy manager. So far I was using acme companion, which does a lot of uncontrollable stuff. I am planning to change my server. I ve already rented a new dedi, and I will do exactly this setup intially on it starting tonight. Greeting from Zurich

Fantastic quick tutorial, easy to follow, and to the point.

What an amazing video! I'm learning a ton from you, thanks; I really like your mission, and as IT professionals, we benefit so much from elegant, cheerful, and helpful explanations like yours. Also, I simply didn't know how cool portainer was, or even that it existed.

Awesome channel and content Christian! I have to recover data (or containers?) on an unbootable VMware Ubuntu VM that you can still read the file structure on. The VM was running Docker images of Nginx, SnipeIT, Zammad and some others. Could you make recommendations on how to rescue the data (or containers) and run them on another VM or even physical machine?

Great...i used before but need to use again as managing many containers by CLI is typical...so will go for web management

Amazing. It was very easy to follow the tutorial, thank you

Very good video. Presented perfectly! That accent would also work well as a supervillain in some blockbuster movie 😂

Thanks for the guide. It is very easy to install in fact. I first met with this thanks to the OMV plugin and using often with multiple containers.

4:24 I am not able to find a working IP address. What can I do?

Awesome, many thanks 😊

Amazing! Simple and fast. Thankss

great video I began to use portainer some weeks ago on my home lab it's an amazing tool. Still having some problems with ssl but that's my crappy router's fault. ;)

Installing Portainer now! Thanks!

Thanks for the video, tested the install today on google cloud vm, once i'm familiar enough with portainer i may place it on my main vps. Thanks again.

Hi Christian, thanks for this nice portainer-video. Would you please show me/us how to configure portainer for managing multiple servers in one portainer instance. That would be great. Thanks a lot :-)

For anyone wondering why the exec console function in portainer is not working after following this tutorial, enable wss sockets support on the details tab of proxy host setup page.

Thank you, it is a good video. For my case, I had issues to implement based on provided details. First, I got errors when deploy the Stack (“Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/data/compose...”) - solved by adding full path in the Web editor where volumes details were Secondly, I had to port forward 443 to my local IP address for proxy to work.

Well done, bro! Great video!

Thanks so much for your tutorial. Very easy and straightforward. Subscribed! I'm trying to set up a home server. I don't want to expose my portainer externally, but I still want to use https, and access it with a more friendly url (instead of IP Address). Can you give me some tips how to achieve that?

Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing!! 👍🏼

Hi great video!! Its been so nice to finally get a clear explanaiton on how to setup docker and portnainer on a vps. i´ve been able to follow along most of your tutorials, but on this one i have encountered a problem and dont know how to fix it. When im trying the login on the nginx proxy server login page, i get a 502 bad gateway error. I dont know why this is, someone has an idea of what could i do to fix it?

Thanks so much for this

the endpoint no longer exists on the new version of portainer . i still have This site can't be reached . i don't know how to solve it

Good video. It could mention what's the difference between Agent and Edge Agent is though

for anyone following in 2024. "Endopoints" are now "Environments"

In the new versions *Settings > Endpoints* is changed to *Settings > Environments*

Thanks bro for the tutorial... My question is the portainer is the best way to use a Cpanel to mange Ubuntu Vps server

well, this is better than trying to make K8s cooperate with you

Hi @christianlempa, I love the pace, clarity and detail of your videos. I'm getting a start working with Docker and decided to run Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi5. I'm following you with great detail but hit a snag when I started the Nginix Proxy Manager and entered the default admin username and password. It gave me a Bad Gateway error. Any thoughts on where I might have gone wrong? Thanks!

Thank you professor Charles Xavier

Great video! thanks

If your new to this like me and bought your vps from contabo, and also have no idea what the heck your doing. Well dont install the gnome desktop will kill your performance install portainer & cockpit. You will be able to manage your docker apps & your server from you browser via their web gui

any idea why I don't get potrts open, I follow all instructions and column "ports" is empty? I tryed to wipe all and reintall it and still no luck.

Thank you, it's work!

Hard to understand what special thing you did to enable the web UI but there is no webUI available for me and it's way too complicated to manage everything only in the command line. In fact, none of the portainer containers have a web UI, not even the arrs, despite starting up successfully. There must be a trick to getting the UI enabled in Portainer.

Command "ip a " at 4:22 gives public ip address? Why it doesn't work for me? It only gives me the private one

I'm getting a "Internal error when i'm trying to add SSL to my Proxy Host. Does someone have the same problem?

Awesome guide thank you!!!

What service is running on port 8000? Is this required? and why is the Secord port forward the web gui?

Is there a video where you show how to add edge env when nginx proxy is enabled?

this doesnt work any more it seems

We could not connect your local environment to Portainer. Unable to retrieve environments need help ! ! !

Excellent tutorial

The blog post about the Proxy Manger is offline, and so are any of the other posts about it. ( ? )

Amazing stuff. Worked perfectly. I have two concerns, I can still access the nginx reverse proxy via ip address even though my portainer website is secured. Second concern is, Nginx Proxy Manager 81 port (admin panel) is also accessible directly. Kindly point which steps should be taken to secure this. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I missed something where did he explain how to add and manage containers...

Hi Chris, very nice video. I wonder why you move Portainer to “proxy manager” network and not just forward to needed port? Isn’t it security issue if proxy have been compromised will have access to portainer itself? If they are separated internally will be dead end for attack.

thankyou very much sir!

when you 'moved' the portainer to the Proxy Manager's network via the shell, why didn't you do it over the webitnerface of portainer itself?

portainer made an update, change the 'portainer/portainer-ce' part to 'portainer/portainer'

Thanks!

My portainer takes too much time to open in the browser,more than two hours already. I am still waiting

My portainer doesn’t take a public up address but the address my router gives which is a private public address

Thanks, amazing video ! You rock

How we can integrate portainer with cockpit ??

I'm too stupid for this, but I will keep trying

Following your video guide on deploying NginxReverseProxy with portainer. Whats the best way to backup and restore the NginxReverseProxy configuration?

Not sure if there has been a change to portainer, but I'm not able to get the setup to work using your guide. No webinterface appears when using the proxy address (works for other containers on the same system) and the letsencrypt part also fails with internal error.

if I understand this correctly portainer as well as all container will run as root?

hello Thanks for the video, I try to install NGINX Proxy Manager with Portainer 2.11.1 and openMediaVault. but I install your script a I get an 502 response after 10:06 how can I fix it? THX

Where do you actually put your configuration files for all the containers? For example, I need to do "-v config.yml:/etc/.../config.yml". Are there some UI support in portainer to store/edit config files (not only for swarm) or some other tool you are using? Thank you!

Thanks :)

2:53 I only get the message "Got permission denied while trying to connect to the docker daemon socket at unix://..….."

did u deploy these in the cloud or home network?

How to connect Cloudflare DDNS (Cloudflared) with Cloudflare and a domain using portainer without opening any port or changing any router settings? thanks in advance

Do you have a link to the docker compose file you used at 9:47 ? I'm not seeing it anywhere on the blog for this video

Hi Good to see again. I appreciate your work. I am facing issue to developing postal smtp email server in kubernetes.

Great video.

If I decide to expose certain services (as example; bitwarden, bookstack and wordpress) to the internet, but wish to keep several other services in my home-network (as example; nginx, portainer and duplicati) - I am best of to just create two different docker-networks or will I need to create a specific network per service that I want to expose?

Can you please make a video on how to install and configure Portainer, Traefik/Nginx, Bitwarden_RS and Pi-Hole/ADGuard Home (on Docker)? Edit: can I do your tutorial at home on my Ubuntu VM or do I need an online server? I don't have a static IP!

good video, however, after running portainer-ce (using your exact command line) I went to look from the local web browser. It only showed "Loading Portainer" and a broken image link.

can you please make a video of how to install portainer and Nginx proxy manager step by step... I followed your videos but I am facing so many problems...

Next time please add a 1 line of Docker install command...

thanks alot

Schade, zu viel Englisch und zu schnell, um alles zu verstehen. Auch wenn das gut aussieht, denke ich das bei yunohost besser aufgehoben ist. Zumal ich nie mit Containern, also Docker, gearbeitet habe. Und Englisch nicht meine Sprache ist. Es ist schon eindeutig schwer, einige Dinge zu übersetzen. Zudem liebe ich Debian und leider nein Ubuntu mag ich nicht so. Versuche ich zu umgehen

Many thanks for this informative tutorial...unfortunately I'm getting an internal error when trying to save the SSL - I have setup Portainer on my AWS & using my Public DNS for Domain Name everything else is the same settings, any advice would be much appreciated - I have opened port 9000 & can access normally but I cant get passed the SSL creation

I have a problem.. When i create portainer and run it as you did. i can only connect to port 9000 with local ip. If i use public ip with port i get to Nginx proxy manager(withouth even having it installed!) did a complete fresh install of docker and same happend again. how is that possible? Any idea why? can i use some other port isntead of 9000? Great video! Sadly it´s not working for me at this time

where do you have ur ubuntu instance running? on a seperate vm in proxmox?

Cant we disable sharing port 9000 too? Thx 😊
