Creating container for PROXMOX

Snippets combined from

  • https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/
  • https://docs.portainer.io/start/install-ce/server/docker/linux

  1. Create Debian Container. Make it small first.

    • cores: 1

    • memory 1024

    • swap 1024

    • disk 4Gb (you cannot in practice decrease)

  2. Add Docker repository

    # Add Docker's official GPG key:
apt-get update
apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
  tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
apt-get update

  3. Install Docker

    apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

  4. Create Portainer volume

    docker volume create portainer_data

  5. Install Portainer container

    docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
