Setup Portainer on Docker Swarm¶

1. We download the official yaml script from Portainer for the Enterprise Edition.

   sudo curl -L https://downloads.portainer.io/ee2-21/portainer-agent-stack.yml -o portainer-agent-stack.yml
   

2. The portainer-agent-stack.yml file as seen below can be used directly without modifications to the swarm.

   version: '3.2'
   
   services:
     agent:
       image: portainer/agent:2.21.5
       volumes:
         - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
         - /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes
       networks:
         - agent_network
       deploy:
         mode: global
         placement:
           constraints: [node.platform.os == linux]
   
     portainer:
       image: portainer/portainer-ee:2.21.5
       command: -H tcp://tasks.agent:9001 --tlsskipverify
       ports:
         - "9443:9443"
         - "9000:9000"
         - "8000:8000"
       volumes:
         - type: bind
           source: /mnt/docker-storage/portainer
           target: /data
       networks:
         - agent_network
       deploy:
         mode: replicated
         replicas: 1
         placement:
           constraints: [node.role == manager]
   
   networks:
     agent_network:
       driver: overlay
       attachable: true
   
   volumes:
     portainer_data:
   

3. Deploy Portainer as stack to the swarm on the Master node.

   sudo docker stack deploy -c portainer-agent-stack.yml portainer
   

4. Verify that Portainer has been deployed.

   sudo docker ps
   

5. Login to Portainer via https://localhost:9443 or https://yourhostname:9443 and setup passwords etc.

You should now have Portainer and Portainer in the same stack.

Conclusion¶
