Portainer from app center or official?

Post by Illidan »

Hi, I am new to terramaster but not to docker, I see that portainer verion on software center is quite old so I wonder if its possible to install the official up to date version without breaking the system.

Also I wanted to ask if portainer interacts well with docker manager (updating containers, etc) In my old syunology if you created an stack in portainer then it doesnt play nicely with synology docker manager.

Thanks

FWIW I have installed Docker Manager (2.0.17) and Docker Engine from the Terramaster App store and then installed Portainer via command line. It works fine for me, and I only use Docker Manager for the nice GUI indications of CPU and Memory use, otherwise all is done through Portainer. I think all you actually need is the Docker Engine App, but I find the GUI stats in Docker Manager helpful.

I have a F4-423 NAS using TOS 6.0.507.

Docker commands I use: (note that I am installing the Business Edition of Portainer that allows 3 Node for free, I only use 1-- change "-ee" to "-ce" for the Community Edition)

Code: Select all

docker volume create portainer_data

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime portainer/portainer-ee:latest
Hope this helps you.

Hello,

i am total new to this docker stuff and to be honest i don't get it at all.

I was able to install the "Docker engine" and the "Docker manager" but i only can see the "Docker manager" as an app.

I want to install the latest Portainer version via command line "in" Docker - i am not even sure if that is the correct term. Since i can't find an update option in the portainer app i installed via the app store.

What next? I don't find a terminal in the "Docker manager". So where is the command line option?
