#Portainer: Managing Docker Engines remotely over TCP socket (TLS)
Analytics, Cloud Platforms | 4 min | 54998
This tutorial is about managing a Docker Engine remotely using Portainer connected to the protected Docker daemon socket (
TCP port 2376
). By default, you can manage Docker locally through a non-networked UNIX socket (option-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
while running Portainer). But, if you want the Docker Engine to be reachable through the network in a safe manner, you need to enable TLS by specifying the--tlsverify
flag and pointing Docker’s--tlscacert
flag to a CA certificate. Then, the daemon only accepts connections from clients that are authenticated by a certificate si...Portainer is a management UI which allows you to easily manage your different Docker environments.
This is what I will try to accomplish in this tutorial. You will be able to:
- Run Portainer for Docker management on Windows, Linux and on a Cloud platform
- Start container with a predefined admin password, in case you are on a public network
Linux/Mac OSX
If you are running Docker on Ubuntu or Mac OSX, you can start using Portainer as a Docker Container typing the following:
docker volume create portainer_data docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name portainer --restart always -v /var/run/docker.sock:...
Docker is a technology that emerges for about 5 years and simplifies the packaging, distribution, installation and execution of (complex) applications. Portainer is a management UI which allows you to easily manage your different Docker environments. If you are here because of the post title, I do not have to explain anymore about the Docker technology and the management tool Portainer. But, if you need to know more about these two topics, I leave you two links:
Let's start with the installation of Portainer for Docker management on Windows 10 (running on a Linux Container)...
