Ok, I am sick of going to the Docker and Portainer website to get this setup so here it is for quick setup. Especially if you are using ProxMox and my cloud image example. Wow, it is very easy to get a Docker up this way and Portainer is awesome! Especially if you want to run docker compose and place in a stack. I will show that here for reference too.
Install Docker
So simple, just run this script from Docker.
Basic Install Docker via Script
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.shFix current user using After Docker steps from Docker post-install.
Post Install Recommendation
sudo groupadd docker # this already exists in Debian after Install Docker.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp dockerHere is the expected output
groupadd: group 'docker' already existsInstall Portainer
Simple install of Portainer CE and it will run on the default ports https: on 9443 and http: on 8000
docker volume create portainer_data
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latestHere is the expected output

Scripts are great but any reason you arent automating it with Ansible?
*Ansible for weekly updating my template VMs.
*Terraform for creating VMs from templates.
*Ansible for provisoning VMs.
Oh, very true getting there just have not built it yet. I think it will be a combination of Ansible and Terraform. Like both projects and that is part of the problem they both have ProxMox support.
So, now it is a game of figuring out what to do where. Typical case of too many options. Like you said Ansible can do all of this so easily. I just hate setting up the resource files. That is my only excuse at this point.
OMG I missed that response. You nailed it! That is what I plan to do.
Yes exactly and ansible to again to build the templates. All of this running in GitLab. See that is my only excuse just too much! I have been so busy just building infrastructure I go lost in that process.
Now I am on ProxMox 8 and SDN is so cool just figuring it all out has taken a few weeks.
Anyway, correct it is better to automate this process! I promise I will document it. TechoTim has some great Ansible blogs.
Any suggestions?
