Installing Portainer

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Portainer and have found many resources here but I cannot get it to respond to HTTP requests. I am on a vLAN and wondered if that had any bearing on it. 

The command I used to install was from here https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/install-pihole-on-raspberry-pi-with-docker-and-portainer/ and was:

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

I then found elsewhere that instead of defining the port I should run:

docker run -d --net=host -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data --restart always portainer/portainer

I ran a docker clean up beforehand, so only ever one portainer was live. When I visit HTTP://[firewalla IP]:9000 I just get the browser telling me the connection was refused.  I checked it was running with docker ps and received:

 

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                 COMMAND        CREATED          STATUS          PORTS     NAMES

afff61d339c8   portainer/portainer   "/portainer"   22 minutes ago   Up 21 minutes             happy_bose

 

I'd really appreciate a little hand-holding please!

  are you connecting from inside the LAN?

  if you do a curl (while in the shell) of port 9000, do you get anything?

  use the 2nd one and remove the =  between net and host.  

   

  docker run --net host -v portainer_data:/data -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --restart always --name portainer_ce portainer/portainer-ce:latest
