Portainer and container console terminal UI issue

[neoz]

Hi all!

I don't know if this is related with this topic: viewtopic.php?t=5437

I have a F-424 Pro with TOS 6 (6.0.577-00166). I have been installed the Portainer application (from offical TOS applications, now in version 2.19.1-ce), works fine, but when I try to access into a container console (via Exec console from Portainer UI) show the error:

Code: Select all

Unable to retrieve image details

I did a search and I found some possible things related, like this issue from the portainer repository https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/11436 .

Seems that is a issue related with new directives introduced in newer Docker versions and old versions of Portainer.
From 2.20.3 Portainer version or upper, the problem has been solved.

To verify that the the Portainer version upgrade works fine. I created a new Docker project with this docker-compose configuration (I have previously disabled the Portainer TOS application):

Code: Select all

version: '3.8'

services:
  portainer:
    image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest
    container_name: portainer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
      - "9443:9443"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./data:/data

After generate and execute the project, Portainer works fine, and I can connect to container consoles via UI

Could be possible upgrade the TOS Portainer app version to 2.20.3 or newer?

Thank you!

We are adapting to a higher version of Portainer, please wait.

Perfect! Thank you.

Perfect! Thank you.

Hi Neoz,

May I ask you how you link the Portainer TOS App with Docker environment? Do you use the agent or the sock? With this latest one I obtain access denied within the app.

Thanks.

Hi @rvescovi!

By default, the TOS Portainer App already has the Docker environment configured. You only need install the application and lanunch it. That's all.

But, if you don't want to use the TOS Portainer App, and want to use a docker container (for example, to test a specific version), you can do it like the example I posted. The example configures the docker soket on Portainer by map volumes config.

Hope it helps. Regards!

Strange, I have the latest one TOS 6 and F4 424 PRO, when I installed Portainer APP, it requests to select an environment link mode but none works except the connection through the agent, which I need to install previously. I think we have two installation which differs for some user permissions.

In any case if I select local sock within the Portainer APP it shows "permission denied" probably if I installed from command line as you suggested it works but I prefer to have the app. Let's wait for an update.

Thanks.

Hi @rvescovi!

As you say, first you need install the "Docker engine" and then Portainer App. I did it like this, but I don't remember to need configure nothing in Portainer. Only change or assign the password and click on the "Get Started" button.

In my opinion, it is also better, as you say, to install Portainer from the TOS applications.

Maybe, if you don't have much docker customization yet, or are just starting with it, you can try to uninstall and try again.

Regards!

Hi @neoz,

I reinstalled many times both dockerengine and portainer with reboot but every time I don't have the "Get Started" as in your case, but an error followed by the request to add an environment



and if I select the local sock, I receive an error of "permission denied"



I have SPC enabled and granted to Portainer both network and storage access.



I don't know how to exit from this situation, apart installing the Portainer agent, but it's too slow accessing it, so I'm waiting an update on the app. I read that is also old, let's see.

Thanks.

Hi @rvescovi!

Honestly, it's quite odd that this is happening to you with the Portainer application. Someone from the TerraMaster team can explain it to us.

One question: Do you have the Docker Manager app installed? If so, is it working fine?

Regards!

[rvescovi]

Yes DockerManager works fine except for empty registry page (known issue). Let's see what they suggest for Portainer, I hope a new release will help.

Thanks.
