docker LXC / Helper script / Upgrade ??

[ThierryIT69]

Hello,
I have installed docker LXC using the helper script.
During the install, I have been asked if I want to install Portainer, I said yes.
But how to update Portainer when the stack/container doesn't exist inside Portainer ??
Thx

Hello

as far as i know the helper script is not officially supported by proxmox or its staff.

to get help with this maybe try the helper script discussion here https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/discussions

maybe try a VM as it will probably work better with docker. if i need a docker container i spin up a VM instead of a LXC container as far as my understanding is as they are imcompatible with each other.

I have installed docker LXC using the helper script.

There is no helper script that comes with Proxmox, which advises against running Docker in a container: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct
Please ask the person that provided the script to help you troubleshooting.

Never used those helper scripts, but upgrading portainer is done by pulling new versions of the portainer containers via the docker CLI commands.
See the portainer documentation. Its well explained there.
I usually create a bash script for that, so I can stop portainer, pull new container templates, prune old templates, start portainer and fstrim with a single upgrade command.

Hello,
I have followed your advice.
I have build a new VM server, use docker rootless and make wotking portainer
It was hard for me, I have to reconfigure all my dockers now.
Thx again.
