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.
I’ve recently discovered the gem that is Apache Guacamole. I can finally tie all my VMs and hypervisors into one web UI. Im really just getting started on docker so this is stupid helpful. The explanations of WHY you’re doing what you’re doing are incredibly helpful
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 RUclips controls often appear as an overlay. Other than that, thank you for the awesome content.
Hey, fair point! I reworked a little bit my overlay, showing my taskbar in the future, so that the terminal bottom line will be naturally a little bit higher :)
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.
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
@@christianlempa can you do a video on how to use portainer to launch a jitsi meet server? I can't find a guide on this anywhere about the creation of an image.
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. ;)
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 :-)
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.
I am having similar problems , im just gonna use something else , now I cannot even log in the web ui , and before I could , it is a mess now on how to install , at least in my end .
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?
I just used the IP Address of the Raspberry Pi instead of the public IP and that worked. Was having the same issue that would not connect. I'm not sure if this is correct though. I'm a complete novice in this. Hopefully, the dude in the video could advise?? (Thanks in advance)
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?
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
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?
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.
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.

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.
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.
Docker networks are isolated, so in order to connect both containers you need to put them on the same network. Just forwarding the portainers' port is in my opinion more insecure, as it doesn't have HTTPS encrypted by default.
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.

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
