Portainer configuration
Portainer can be tuned using CLI flags.
Use your own logo
You do not like our logo? Want to make Portainer more corporate? Don't worry, you can easily switch for an external logo using the --logo
flag:
$ docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock portainer/portainer --logo "https://www.docker.com/sites/all/themes/docker/assets/images/brand-full.svg"
Hiding specific containers
Portainer allows you to hide container with a specific label by using the -l
flag.
For example, take a container started with the label owner=acme
:
$ docker run -d --label owner=acme nginx
Simply add the -l owner=acme
option on the CLI when starting Portainer:
$ 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 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:
$ 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: https://github.com/portainer/templates
