Deploy Docker & Portainer In Seconds Using Ansible!

In this video, the seventh of the Ansible mini-series, I show how to use roles and templates to automate the deployment of Docker and Portainer. The process herein can be expanded to include any containers you wish to deploy.

You are literally scaring me - everyime I look something up on youtube, you just uploaded a video about the exact same thing! And it’s flawless

Genuinely, you've explained this pretty dam well.

Just found your channel. High quality content and videos with clean explanations. There is a high chance that your channel could become something like "Learn Linux TV" channel. In my opinion step-by-step video series is the way to go. I wish you much success in your journey! Great job Jim.

Great video explaining all those ansible terms with simple examples 🙂

Great as usual Jim! I have been working on trying to get a playbook for a swarm setup with portainer behind traefik for 2 days now. All the guides I can find have out of date commands or don't work for one reason or another. Can't wait for the next video!

This is really getting to be very professional, amazing stuff what you are showing us. I'm looking forward to migrate to Kubernetes, I have a test-setup running like you showed, I like your structured approach, I was never good at scripting but you showed us the way, it is the better way 100%. I have a Genoa system with 84 cores, begging for some serious load, with your tutorials we will get there. One thing we have not seen, how to dynamically grow/shrink a cluster depending on the load, that would be a great topic, also reducing the downloads of a cluster, , all these templates require the same updates, having a central intermediate storage where all this is pulled from would substantially reduce the download requirements. Anyway great stuff, not many channels that explain things this clear 🤓🤓😎

Thanks Jim!!! Great video! your last thoughts on doing video's on docker swarm or K8S i would suggest K8S!😉

[Anarki]

Great videos. Would you be able to do a video showing how to deploy a self hosted supabase instance and keycloak instance using proxmox? Specifically the oauth setup.

[fugixi]

Really awesome videos!
Been watching a bunch of them today. ❤
What is your opinion regarding Docker vs. LXC in terms of running your applications?

[Bealafolle]

You've added rocket-fuel to my homelab journey. Thank you

[RobertFabiano]

A really interesting demonstration would be to have a deployment just like this that had a restore-from-backup component. Like Duplicati. 😅

Hello!!. I'm having issues virtualizing an nvidial40s. The system recognizes it, but when I try to install the Nvidia drivers, it doesn't let me. We work with Unreal tools, and we're unable to virtualize an environment to work with Windows 10 and Unreal Engine under Proxmox. Do you know what might be happening?

Jim, I follow all your videos and think you are doing a great job, but I really have to take exception to this one.
I realize that you are showing how to use roles, templates etc. but you are using the module apt_key. This has been deprecated for some time, as a security risk.
Even the Community Documentation states that it has been included only for backwards compatibility and shows examples of how it should be done without using apt_key.
People who are new to Ansible need to learn the currently accepted method, not something deprecated for security reasons.
Unfortunately the current method is more involved. Maybe you could do a video on the correct way to use a third-party signed repository.
