Portainer is a lightweight management UI which allows you to **easily** manage your Docker host or Swarm cluster.
**_Portainer_** is a lightweight management UI which allows you to **easily** manage your Docker host or Swarm cluster.
# Usage
**_Portainer_** is meant to be as **simple** to deploy as it is to use. It consists of a single container that can run on any Docker for Linux engine. A Docker for Windows version is on its way !
It's really simple to deploy it using Docker:
**_Portainer_** allows you to manage your Docker containers, images, volumes, networks and more ! It is compatible with the *standalone Docker* engine and with *Docker Swarm*.
```shell
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 portainer/portainer -H tcp://<DOCKER_HOST>:<DOCKER_PORT>
```
## Demo
Just point it at your targeted Docker host and then access Portainer by hitting [http://localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000) with a web browser.

If your target is a Docker Swarm cluster or a Docker cluster using *swarm mode*, just add the flag `--swarm`:
You can try out the public demo instance: http://demo.portainer.io/ (login with the username **demo** and the password **tryportainer**).
```shell
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 portainer/portainer -H tcp://<SWARM_HOST>:<SWARM_PORT> --swarm
```
Please note that the public demo cluster is **reset every 15min**.
If you don't specify any target, its default behaviour is to use a bind mount on the Docker socket so you can easily deploy it to manage your local Docker host:
## Getting started
```shell
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer
```
* [Deploy Portainer](https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deployment.html)
* [Documentation](https://portainer.readthedocs.io)
Have a look at our [documentation](http://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/deployment.html) for more deployment options.

Portainer is easy to tune using CLI flags.
## Reporting bugs and contributing
## Hiding specific containers
* Want to report a bug or request a feature? Please open [an issue](https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/new).
* Want to help us build **_portainer_**? Follow our [contribution guidelines](https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribute.html) to build it locally and make a pull request. We need all the help we can get!
Portainer allows you to hide container with a specific label by using the `-l` flag.
## Limitations
For example, take a container started with the label `owner=acme`:
```shell
$ docker run -d --label owner=acme nginx
```
Simply add the `-l owner=acme` option on the CLI when starting Portainer:
```shell
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer -l owner=acme
```
## Use your own templates
Portainer allows you to rapidly deploy containers using `App Templates`.
By default [Portainer templates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portainer/templates/master/templates.json) will be used but you can also define your own templates.
Add the `--templates` flag and specify the external location of your templates when starting Portainer:
```shell
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer --templates http://my-host.my-domain/templates.json
```
For more information about hosting your own template definitions and the format, see the [templates documentation](http://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/templates.html).
Check our [documentation](http://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html) for more configuration options.
