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.

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

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

Thanks for the great tutorial! I've added it to our YouTube playlist 'Videos from the Portainer Community'. :)

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

Excellent, excellent video. Everything was so clearly explained and shown. Told me why I was doing things and what they were. Thanks so much!

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

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 :)

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

[Joooooooooooosh]

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

A voice I could listen to all day! Good tutorial too!

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.

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!!

I find the best tutorials right here on your page. Thank you, and Happy New Year, brother.

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.

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!🙏

[DanJackielz]

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

[tommilton]

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 👍

sudo docker pull (for 64bit rasbian os Debian version: 11 bullseye)

[joshuasimmons]

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