Portainer CE delivers a full web UI to deploy and manage Docker containers, images, volumes, networks and stacks, preinstalled and running behind nginx and ready to use within minutes of launch. A unique admin password is generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Portainer CE by cloudimg
Portainer CE is a lightweight management UI that lets you deploy and operate Docker entirely from your web browser. You get a clear view of every container, image, volume, network and stack on the host, with the controls to create, start, stop, inspect, exec into and remove them, without memorising Docker CLI commands. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Portainer CE fully installed and running behind an nginx reverse proxy, with the local Docker environment already connected, so a container-management console is serving within minutes of launch. The current release available is Portainer CE 2.39.4.
## Application Stack
Portainer runs as a container that manages the host's own Docker engine through the Docker socket. It binds to the loopback interface and is fronted by nginx on port 80, with the WebSocket upgrade the container console and log streaming need already configured. Docker and the reverse proxy start on boot and the container restarts on failure. Portainer's database of users, environments, stacks and settings lives on a dedicated data disk.
## Manage Docker From Your Browser
Browse and search every container with its state, ports and resource usage. Start, stop, restart, remove and duplicate containers in a click. Open an in-browser console into a running container or stream its live logs. Pull and manage images, create and inspect volumes and networks, and deploy multi-container applications as stacks. Role based access control lets you add teams and users with scoped permissions.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service creates the Portainer admin account with a fresh password unique to that instance, and records it in a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
Open the web UI, read the generated password, sign in as admin, and the local Docker environment is already connected, ready to manage.
