Installing and Configuring Additional Docker Containers

In a home lab setup, Portainer simplifies the management of Docker containers. One of its features is the 'Stacks' option that allows you to deploy and manage Docker Compose stacks directly from the web UI.

Here's how to deploy a new stack using Portainer:

1. Log into your Portainer web interface.
2. Navigate to 'Stacks' and then click on 'Add a new Stack'.
3. You'll be presented with an editor where you can paste your Docker Compose YAML configurations.
4. After pasting the YAML configurations, click 'Deploy the Stack'.

This way, you can easily manage and configure additional Docker containers directly from Portainer.
