Portainer Setup: Manage Docker Containers on Your Seedbox

What Is Portainer?

Portainer is a web-based Docker management UI. Instead of using SSH commands to manage containers, Portainer gives you a visual dashboard showing all running containers, their resource usage, logs, and settings.

Installing Portainer

1. If available as one-click app: Dashboard → Apps → Portainer → Install
2. If not, install via SSH:

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

3. Access at https://your-seedbox-ip:9000

• View all running containers and their status
• Start/stop/restart containers with one click
