View guide →Portainer — making Docker and Kubernetes management easy: a lightweight web UI for containers, stacks and clusters, free in its open-source Community Edition
Portainer is an open-source self-hosted project by portainer (portainer/portainer on GitHub). It has 38,675 GitHub stars and 2,923 forks, is released under the Zlib license, and was last updated on GitHub on 16 October 2026.
Create a data volume and run the portainer/portainer-ce container with the Docker socket mounted, per the official install docs.
Open https://localhost:9443 within a few minutes of first start (the installer times out for security if you wait) and set the admin password.
Portainer connects to the local Docker environment automatically; add remote environments or Kubernetes clusters from the same UI.
Docker, Swarm, Podman, Kubernetes and ACI environments side by side in a single dashboard.
Create and edit containers and compose stacks in forms and a built-in editor, with logs and console access in the browser.
Manage the homelab, the VPS and the office cluster from one login, with per-environment access in Business Edition.
Portainer is one container mounting the Docker socket — the manager is as easy to run as the things it manages.
The documented Community Edition install.
docker volume create portainer_data
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:ltsDo this promptly — first-run setup locks after a short timeout.
https://localhost:9443In the UI: Stacks → Add stack, paste a docker-compose file, deploy. Portainer shows logs, stats and console for every container it starts.
Portainer.io, the company behind the open-source project (portainer/portainer on GitHub), which funds development through the Business Edition.
The Community Edition in this repository is free and open source (Zlib licence). Business Edition adds enterprise features and support under a commercial licence.
The socket is root-equivalent access to the host, so protect your Portainer login accordingly — strong password, HTTPS, and do not expose it to the open internet without thought.
Against the Docker CLI, Portainer trades keystrokes for visibility — logs, stats and deploys in one screen. Against Rancher, it is far lighter and simpler for small fleets; Rancher goes deeper on large-scale Kubernetes governance.
Run the portainer/portainer-ce:lts container with the Docker socket mounted, then open https://localhost:9443.
