Portainer Install guide
What is Portainer Community Edition or Enterprise Edition?
Think of Portainer as an easy-to-use "control panel" for complex server applications. Normally, these applications run in special, self-contained boxes called "containers." Managing these boxes usually requires a lot of technical commands. Portainer hides all that complexity and gives you a simple website with buttons and menus to manage them, a bit like how Windows or macOS gives you an easy way to manage the files and apps on your computer.
1) Installing Portainer
You have two options for installing Portainer. You can use a simple helper script for an automated setup, or you can perform a manual installation by first provisioning an Ubuntu VM and installing Docker. We will explore both of these processes.
