How to install Docker (and Portainer) on a RaspberryPi and run millions of apps on your RaspberryPi!

[@Phrozends]

Great video! Thank! Just a note, the -v in the docker command is for volumes, it maps the first path (docker container) to the second path (after the colon), which is a folder on the host operating system. That is how docker containers can persist data if they are killed or restarted.

[@thebusinesscentre]

Docking 😂

[@techmattr8483]

-v is volume not variable. The docker.sock is mapping the local docker volume so portainer can manage the local docker resources.

[@Jeffrey_Mason]

Best video yet. I have redone my PI about 4 times following other videos. Worked the first time with yours.

[@Joooooooooooosh]

-v does not stand for variable. It stands for volume.

[@therealjackfisher]

who cares, it could stand for vandalism and i could care less. Geek language makes no sense anyways, so variable or volume, same thing.

[@Joooooooooooosh]

@@therealjackfisher then you may wanna choose another line of work I dunno what to tell you.

[@therealjackfisher]

@@Joooooooooooosh back in the days if you saw me on DOS your jab would drop, and you would be the one to choose another line of work. It dont matter if you know what it stand for as long you know how to use it. If I had to explain everyone what everything means when writing extremely complicated batch files nobody would remember anything. Trust me there was sick amount of programming involved in making batch files with menus, sub menus, and without flooding screen with crap you dont want to display. These days are over and I didnt have any reasons to use Linux before now because Linux sucked, and it still kinda does, but there are more uses for this in private homes today then lest say 10 years ago.

[@Joooooooooooosh]

@@therealjackfisher variables and volumes are two distinctly different concepts in docker. They are not interchangeable.

[@bassam.2023]

Of course, my favourite Raspberry Pi channel pops up when I want to install docker on my RPI :)

[@SpaceRexWill]

Thanks!

[@dharmacode27]

out of all the videos i watched yours was the most thorough and easiest to follow thank you

[@Yamheadyan]

You mentioned at around 2:50 to do a quick glance for any malicious code. Unfortunately as a newbie to coding, I do not know what to look for. Any pointers?

[@barbyboi]

Generaly is to say, if a code is open source, a company doesnt have spyware in it. Otherwise, i think you just need to learn a bit of coding, or just look a bit of codd in the internet if it seems suspicious.

[@zaur66]

-e is for : Set environment variables , -v is for setting up volumes, you are exposing local 'storage' so to say into the docker container.

[@SpaceRexWill]

Whoops! Got my flags mixed up

[@danielnagy6809]

At 7:50 i get a message, “unable to find image portainer/portainer-ce:linux-arm locally. Any solution for this?

sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:linux-arm64 (for 64bit rasbian os Debian version: 11 bullseye)

[@lohnstar5]

thank you, just what I was looking for

[@joelnork9363]

Thanks for the video, just an update to help others, docker will not pull portainer with the command give if you are running 64bit, however if you run sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce that should work. Happy learning.

[@ralf2403]

Super! please make more Raspberry Docker videos because most of the tutorials on YT are useless.. Thanks to your videos I set up my Raspberry and VPN :)

Great video, thanks! I had been planning to try this stuff, but since I am a relative newbie on Docker and Portainer I was somewhat apprehensive to go ahead and try. You managed to get me going within a quarter of an hour. Kudos!!

[@SpaceRexWill]

haha Im glad! Portainer really just makes everything so much easier

[@matejsokolec2973]

For you guys running 64 bit versions of raspbian the pull may fail. What will work is this: docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:linux-arm64

[@KenPryor]

Thank you for this!

[@DanJackielz]

This is the cleanest tutorial. Love the way you explained everything!

[@seniorchief6136]

Thanks for the video. I will try this. I'm planning to build my own home lab and dive deeper into networking, virtualization, containers etc. But this seems like a nice way of trying it out before I go full into it, plus I already have a pi that's never been used.

[@vincentnestler1805]

Thanks!

[@tommilton6024]

Thanks for the video, did you do any follow ups? I'm interested in whether you could pop pihole, home assistant and things like that within this setup? Thanks 👍

[@joshuasimmons571]

for anyone who gets the deamon error when trying to pull portainer just reboot your rpi4

Yes

[@richiegandragon2591]

Nice video, I just used it to repurpose my Pi-3B. Next is Nextcloud so I can dump google. i too had to change the portainer-ce:linux arm to latest. but working now.

[@kevinhsin630]

I had troubles using the sudo docker r and sudo docker rm portainer command. I went about having to do docker stop portainer, then sudo docker rm portainer to remove the container.

[@kellynorton]

I'm going to go ahead and say that this video was very useful.

[@C3PO_]

Thanks very much for your concise and very useful tutorial! As a newbie to Linux and Docker, may I ask whether I need to manually update the pulled Docker images from time to time? If yes, how? Do I need to stop the corresponding containers before updating? Many thanks in advance!🙏

[@PilotOdyssey]

Ok I have it running do you have a tutorial for finding, installing then running Containers in Portainer you kind of glossed over the details. Thanks

[@HoundDogRock]

Can I use this tutorial for my raspberry pi 2 B v1.1 running dietpi?

[@MrStefanokj]

Is there an alternative to portainer for arm v6 processors? Because I have a rasberry pi zero w and portainer is not supported :(

[@joegpapst2129]

this procedure works on Orange pi zero 2?

[@theuptaker]

One more question. I’ve got this running on my RPI using your video so thank you. Now I’m wondering if these same scripts will work on my Mac using terminal? Want to run an AMD container and seeing that OS X is Linux it might work?

[@SpaceRexWill]

You should be able to get portioner on your Mac. It will need a different build of portioner but (not ARM)

[@TarakoBR]

3:52 Now you just seat back and relax ... (Tense face) Just kidding, awesome content, buddy, I am benefiting of a lot :D

[@ArunKumar001]

.sock is a linux socket file in which docker api is exposed. Since portainer requires access to docker you are volume mounting the sock file to the container. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@jmccamb]

Thank you for this. Do you know if a Pi 2 or 3b+ will be able to handle this?

[@vladi2993]

Thank you for this helpful video! How can I update Portainer?

[@gogorunrun]

I’m a totally noob and I made it work. Cool video, thanks. Only thing was “linux-arm” did not work for me, so after a bit a searching I used “latest” instead

this is not working for me i get no error when running the command but when i go to raspberrypi.local:9000 the site cannot be reached ive tried going to the static ip of my raspberry pi IPADDRESS:9000 and nothing i fallowed your commands to the letter i dont know why its not working

@@SpaceRexWill I found it out it was due to the OS I was using which was twister os. As soon as I flashed a new card with Pi OS, it worked fine which is odd, using the same internet connection and everything

I am new raspberry pi user. with the new version of software it asked for user name. Once I added it I had a difficulties with the tutorial as it asked for pi user and not the one I had. Once I figured that out. It went well. Thanks

[@couple.gamernauts]

Nice tutorial! I would like to see more content for raspberry pi and networks. Keep up the good work.

[@BrianThomas]

Great video. Question: How would this work if I have 8 Pi's in a cluster and I want to spin up applications in containers as needed? Will portioner support that?

[@ArunKumar001]

You should try docker swarm or kubernetes. Portainer is only a gui for docker and docker runs on one host only.

[@Farlot911]

Please add a annotation or something about having to reboot your Pi if you update/upgrade from the base image straight away, the install will fail without a reboot first :)

[@clauswobbe1]

Hi - great video! I'm new to Docker and Raspberry Pi 5 and I would love to see a video on how to deploy DokuWiki on my Pi5 using Docker.

[@joshuathomas512]

Some questions, I'm trying to run multiple os's, like ubuntu and retropie through berryboot, and apps, like openmediavault, OpenVPN, pihole, and plex on my pi 4 4gb at once. I tried running all on a single sd card and found some compatibility issues, so I decided to use two cards instead, one for os's and another for programs. Do I go about the latter by first installing docker on rpi os, and then installing said apps into containers? Because I'm also seeing methods of installing docker onto openmediavault for some reason..

[@SpaceRexWill]

You are going to want to pick one OS per pi. You can install docker stuff on OMV

[@theuptaker]

will this work for the 64bit portainer pull? docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:linux-arm64

[@SpaceRexWill]

[@robertbeatty4542]

Great video! Do you have any idea why I can't load portainer from another PC? I can only load it from the Pi

[@SpaceRexWill]

If I had to guess your portainer might be set to local host only

[@zk_6312]

Interesting video, I have never heard of portainer or even docker until recently. How does docker and portainer handle system commands that need the sudo command? For instance, I am running a 3D printer application called Octoprint, but it needs to use the system commands for shutting down, rebooting, and restarting the octoprint service. So far I have not figured out how to do this so the commands don't do anything. Looking at the docker logs it says docker does not recognize or can't find the sudo command.

A tutorial for how to upgrade (or downgrade) containers to newer versions while keeping the existing one available in case the new one doesn't work would be great! If you could do it via synology docker UI that would be cool too.

Thats a good idea! I need to look into that! I think it should be fairly trivial to clone containers

[@awardblvr]

Questions: 1. How do I make sure any container I deploy on Portainer/docker with web access is visible externally (Ie. on my home LAN only, of course, not port-forwarded outside .. just inside my LAN) 2. How do I set permissions and ownership on various Portainer volumes/directories, etc to allow me to touch those folders from a general Ras Pi login? 3. What is a "Bind" dir and what are the various modes of "connected networks"? Thanks!!!

v is for volume not variable, docker.sock is passed to portainer so portainer can manage host's docker via unix sockets.
