How to deploy Docker UI Tool on Linux

Create docker volume for portainer.io data

# docker volume create portainer_data

# docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer

Once deployed the container enable port 9000 on your firewall.

# firewall-cmd --add-port 9000/tcp --permanent

# docker service create \
--name portainer \
--publish 9000:9000 \
--replicas=1 \
--constraint 'node.role == manager' \
--mount type=bind,src=//var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
--mount type=volume,src=portainer_data,dst=/data \
portainer/portainer \
-H unix:///var/run/docker.sock
