- Portainer CEApp
- Docker socketFull access to this server
Sign in as admin with the generated password shown on the app’s page. Portainer manages every container on the server, so only install it where you trust that access.
How do I install Portainer?
Pick one of your servers, choose Portainer from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.
What size server does Portainer need?
Light. Runs comfortably next to other sites on the smallest server.
What happens after install?
Sign in as admin with the generated password shown on the app’s page. Portainer manages every container on the server, so only install it where you trust that access.
Is Portainer backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Portainer?
You do. Portainer keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Portainer itself is free to self-host.
