Great video! I am just getting my feet wet in home labs and doing research. Most of the videos I watch say to set up Docker in an lxc container. Thank you for the clear explanation of why to use a VM instead. Plus thank you for the clear instructions on how to set all of this up! Great video
If you do what I did and installed the Business Edition by mistake , don't forget to remove _both_ the docker image (sudo docker rm portainer) _and_ the volume (sudo docker volume rm portainer_data) before re-installing, otherwise you'll get Portainer CE restarting every 30 seconds or so! Great tutorial!
This is by FAR the easiest way I have found to get portainer up and running. Excelent tutorial I will keep checking out your channel for any other installations I may be having a hard time with. Thank you so much!
Only 330 subs but man, you're very thorough! You don't have a flashy channel but you walked though everything, described everything and showed everything. Lots of other channels assume you know more or less and skips past a window or two. Great stuff!
Thanks for the feedback. I do a lot of documentation in my real job so that comes out in my videos. Still a growing channel. I appreciate your comments and glad I could help.
New to Portainer and Proxmox and this was hands-down the best, easy-to-follow step-by-step tutorial to get up and running. Flawless! Thank you for posting this, thumbs-up and definitely earned another sub!
Just wanted to say thanks for such a well scripted tutorial for someone who is just starting in home labs. It's criminal you don't have more subscribers so I've subscribed and will be checking out more content.
First off I want to say Thank you!!!!!!!!! and again Thank you!!!!!!!! This was exactly the tutorial I was looking for on how to get a docker/portainer setup on my proxmox server. So again I say Thank you. Just a though though if you added the sudo in front of the commands on your description it would be nicer. But on the other hand it does make you watch the video. Great Job Keep up the good work.
This is a really helpful video. I like how you did this in one smooth take, it makes it easy to follow which other videos tend to overlook. You earned a sub!
Great Video. What I'm doing on all Portainer installs is configuring the proper ip for the local environment. That way all ports in the container lists become clickable which us very useful for web guis.
Thank you very much for this excellent and very interesting video. I followed your instructions exactly and everything worked like a charm, I now have ProxMox 7.3 with an Ubuntu 22.04 VM with Portainer in a Docker container, and that is exactly what I wanted for my home development lab. I have setup ProxMox on an AMD Rizen 7 5825U Mini PC with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB nvme, quite a powerfull setup in a very small volume and best of all, practically silent.
Well done, you have a creditable presentation style, sounds like you are talking from the heart and know what you know. I like how you explain that you don't know everything and to try things out. Adding the link to the other source of Docker templates was a good touch. With you channel I think you find it difficult to get a higher sub level, tech videos are like that. You got me as a new sub. Keep broadcasting!!
Excellent and thorough! Many videos I find missing some critical information. Your was thorough and well explained! Now on to installing Immich, AGAIN! 🙂I cannot seem to get it to recognize my other SSD and I need the 1TB for photos and video storage.
nice guide! I got everything up and running. Pretty sure I didn't miss anything cause I did it twice. However, it is the next step - actually deploying a container - where I fail with status code 500. I am guessing it is an issue with volumes and/or permissions?
Hi, great video! I'm interested in knowing if it's possible to partition the VM disk as follows: /docker 36G, /root 16G, /var 16G, and /boot 1G. I'm not sure what would be considered a good practice for this. Do you have any hints? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the helpful video. I got to the point where I logged into Portainer in a browser and it kicked me out because I took too long. Apparently you have to do it within 5 minutes of installing Portainer. Does that mean I have to install it again?
Why you set up only 32 gb of hdd space to ubuntu vm? I think if we got a lot of containers there is no enough space... So , should we create a disk with 200 gb? Or near it
So I followed your guide, and my target use case was to deploy a service with docker-compose that scrapes an API of a unit and sends it off to MQTT. I was able to run it locally, but when I run it within portainer, it seems that it cannot connect to the MQTT broker, which is running inside the home assistant VM. It seems to be something with the networking of that docker-compose, which seems to ge getting the bridge networking by default, starting with 172.x. Is there anyway I can configure portainer so that any services I run through it have access to my local lan? ie the same network as the ubuntu vm has access to?
Thanks. Struggling to get moodle to work on proxmox. Had it working in docker desktop on windows/wsl, also on a rpi4...just can't get it to open in a browser when run through proxmox
It seems I get 'permission denied' when trying to get access to Var/lib/docker for a Jellyfin container setup - is there an easy way to change this in VM?
You totally glance over the part I need, ie setting a static IP. Do you (or someone else you know of) cover this in any better detail. I'm having troubles making any progress. Thanks.
This is very dependent on your setup such as your router. Probably why you don’t see many videos since everyone has a different environment they are working in. In general you want to choose an IP that is outside of the DHCP scope of your router or you router may have a built in option to assign an IP to a device/MAC address. When you setup a system to use a static IP you will configure the IPv4 settings on the system to use the Ip you assigned, the default gateway(router) and the subnet mask (for most home labs it will be 255.255.255.0).

Excellent video, nice and easy to follow. Keep up the good work 🙂
Great video, you explained everything in an easy to digest way. Thank you for the solid tutorial.
Thanks very much . Very easy to follow walk through. Much appreciated.
Excellent Excellent Excellent!! Easy to understand and follow, Thank you Sir.
Can you also create how to video installing and configuring Truenas on Proxmox, thank you.

Best help I have found. Easy to follow your instructions
Excellent simple pleasant comprehensive demo. Thanks much appreciated.
Excellent and thorough! Many videos I find missing some critical information. Your was thorough and well explained! Now on to installing Immich, AGAIN! 🙂I cannot seem to get it to recognize my other SSD and I need the 1TB for photos and video storage.
The instructions worked perfectly! Great video. Thank you!
Awesome!
Awesome video. Following your excellent instructions I have Portainer installed.
great video!! I followed your video and was able to get Portainer running on Docker >> Ubuntu >> Proxmox. thanks!
Awesome video, everything worked exactly how you said it would.
Awesome!
Cannot thank you enough! Great explanation with step-by-step guide!
Thank you. Very well put together and easy to follow. Great job.
thank you! worked well. Simpler than lxt container for sure.
So glad i found your ProxMox videos! Installed it last week and i'm loving it :) Which client to you use to connect with ssh?
perfect clear & easy !! thx
Great guide, thanks
Thank you so much for very informative and newbie friendy tutorial.
Thanks for the feedback!
thanks bro. i follow your guide and its work flawlessly
Thank you for guidance. Its clear. How to add additional storage from local proxmox?
Very, very helpful.
Thank you.
nice guide! I got everything up and running. Pretty sure I didn't miss anything cause I did it twice.
However, it is the next step - actually deploying a container - where I fail with status code 500. I am guessing it is an issue with volumes and/or permissions?

Any reason why you would use a VM over an LXC container to install docker and then portainer on?
thanks works great :D
Thanks. Struggling to get moodle to work on proxmox. Had it working in docker desktop on windows/wsl, also on a rpi4...just can't get it to open in a browser when run through proxmox
Did you install the QEMU Agent on the ProxMox VM and just not show it? Thanks for the content. It was very clear and well done.
I did not install it
i have a question, Where did the zsh shell come from. I'm trying to follow but I can't install docker
It seems I get 'permission denied' when trying to get access to Var/lib/docker for a Jellyfin container setup - is there an easy way to change this in VM?
thank you.
What’s your reasoning for the super large VM? My Portainers usually have 1 core 8G and 1024k Ram..
You totally glance over the part I need, ie setting a static IP. Do you (or someone else you know of) cover this in any better detail. I'm having troubles making any progress. Thanks.

im new to all this. can you make a video how to setup nfs-utils
Don't know why port 8000:8000 didn't work for me until I change it to 9000:9000
Is it possible to set up my vpn in portainer I use NordVPN since there speeds can’t be matched?
I don’t have NordVPN but you should check out this thread: www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/rew3ru/nordvpn_portainer_container/?
