These are a collection of bash scripts for setting up Docker and Portainer on Debian-based systems. I actively use these on Ubuntu, Debian (openmediavault), and Raspberry Pi (64-bit) OS installs for quick and easy setup and maintenance.

Script to install needed system components for running a Docker environment on a local machine, downloading and starting Docker, and then running a simple "Hello World" test to confirm that Docker has been successfully installed. Once Docker is installed, it can be upgraded through standard system updates. This script must be changed to an executable and run with elevated privlidges:

sudo chmod  x install-docker.sh
sudo ./install-docker.sh

Script to pull and start Portainer for a brand new installation to a locally mapped volume and allow for management of Docker installs via web GUI via HTTPS on port 9443 and verifies if Portainer is running or failed to start. The script has two variables defined that can be changed to match your install:

$timezone
$volume_path

This script must be changed to an executable and be run with elevated privlidges:

sudo chmod  x install-portainer.sh
sudo ./install-portainer.sh

Script to automate upgrading Portainer using the same parameters as defined in the "install-portainer.sh" script. This will stop the Docker instance of Portainer, remove Portainer, pull the updated image if one is available, start Portainer again, and then verifies if Portainer is running or failed to start. This script has two variables defined that can be changed to match your install:

$timezone
$volume_path

This script must be changed to an executable and be run with elevated privlidges:

sudo chmod  x upgrade-portainer.sh
sudo ./upgrade-portainer.sh
