Bring up portainer first as the operator console — before nginx-proxy + TLS are wired. Self-signed UI on tcp/9443, edge-agent tunnel on tcp/8000. Once nginx-proxy lands, ports get commented out and access shifts to https://portainer.wbd-rd.nl/ behind the wildcard cert. The :9443 direct access remains as commented config for emergency ops if nginx is down. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# portainer
|
|
|
|
Docker container management UI — the "operator console" for cloud and edge.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone first-run (cloud)
|
|
|
|
Bring this up **first**, before nginx-proxy, so you have a GUI from day 1 to inspect containers, logs, networks, and volumes as the rest of the cloud stack comes online.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd stacks/portainer
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browse `https://<cloud-host>:9443` (self-signed cert — accept once). Create the admin user on first visit.
|
|
|
|
## After nginx-proxy is up
|
|
|
|
Once nginx-proxy + the wildcard cert are working:
|
|
|
|
1. Comment the `ports:` block in `compose.yml`.
|
|
2. `docker compose down && docker compose up -d` (or recreate via cloud/compose.yml include).
|
|
3. Browse `https://portainer.wbd-rd.nl/` (real cert, behind nginx).
|
|
|
|
The direct `:9443` access is intentionally retained as commented-out config for emergency ops if nginx goes down.
|
|
|
|
## Edge-agent topology
|
|
|
|
Port `8000` accepts reverse tunnels from edge sites running the `portainer/agent` image. The central cloud Portainer then manages every edge Docker host. Agent-side config lives under `sites/<plant>/` once edge stacks are wired up.
|
|
|
|
## Networks
|
|
|
|
- **mgmt** — Docker management plane
|
|
- **Docker socket**: read-only mount; *effectively root-equivalent* on the host. Front with Keycloak SSO as soon as auth is wired.
|
|
|
|
## Volumes
|
|
|
|
- `portainer-data` — Portainer DB (users, environments, stacks, settings)
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Keycloak OIDC auth (Portainer CE needs a frontend gate; Business Edition has native OIDC if budget allows)
|
|
- Edge-agent provisioning workflow per site (agent secret, registration call)
|
|
- Disable self-signed `:9443` access after nginx-proxy goes live (operational hygiene)
