Home Assistant Community Add-on: Portainer

thanks, but what if i did not setup an volume to store data, as with one of my containers i forgot and it saved the data somewhere in there… and this for months…
i want to access the folder, but how to access if there is no volume selected ?

Regards

If you didn’t store data on a remanent drive, it is my expectation that it would have been deleted when the addon was stopped

@alexbelgium I am hoping you can help me ?

I have installed Portainer via your add on
Somehow I have forgotten my login creds for the instance

I have attempted to remove the install and do a clean install but each time it just welcomes me back and of course I can’t login due to having forgotten my creds.

How can I do a full remove and clean reinstall ?

Many thanks

For credentials it is super easy. The password is defined in the addon options. If you change the password there, it resets your portainer database with the name admin and the new password you’ve defined in the options

Thanks Alex !

Hi,
I try to use this add-on to create a container.
I have defined a volume as for the volume part of the container

The volume get created like this

But if I look inside /mnt/ der directory is empty

Any chances that I can change the mount point? I wonder why I can’t see anything inside /mnt/
I am using this add-on as terminal

Thank you! :slight_smile:

@alexbelgium Could I get access to your hassio-addons?

Sure, just follow the instructions in any of my addons for installation : hassio-addons/portainer at master · alexbelgium/hassio-addons · GitHub

Messed up my old add-on portainer install. So I removed it and add it back using Alexbelgium repo. However I cannot log in. How to reset default password for this add on?

Use “homeassistant”. Or change it from the addin options but it will reset the database

Wow that was easy - thx

Hi,
I have the Portainer BE and following devices (servers):
1- Home Assistant Core (intelNUC)
2- NAS (Synology RS818+)
3- Personal PC (UBUNTU)

till now I had Portainer on NAS and the agent on #3. So today I decided to have Portainer HA Add-on and the agent on #2 and #3 so I can have access to the volumes on the laters.

My inquiries are:

  1. Can I Portainer in HA to monitor other agents?
  2. Ca I upgrade to the BE edition without any side effects?
  3. I don’t intend to install any containers manually on the docker system running on the HA server, just on the other two devices. So I won’t risk getting my HA unmanage/supported. will I?

Thanks in advance
R.S.

AFAIK, the answers are:

  1. Yes. You need to add the agents using the Environments section of the Portainer addon. They will appear under the main section on the home page.
  2. I can’t speak for the dev, but… if the main difference between CE and BE is your Portainer account and not different code, it should just happen when you log into your Portainer account.
  3. That is the same use-case I have right now, and it’s working fine with CE.

Thank you for you reply :relaxed:

Ok, total noob here when it comes to Docker, but I managed to get the Portainer add-on running in HAOS and install the broadlinkmanager docker image so was feeling quite proud of myself…
I unfortunately have no clue how to access broadlinkmanager which was the whole point of the exercise😅

I’m assuming this is a network config thing that I can’t figure out as I have to access an IP on port 7020 to access broadlinkmanager but I can’t work out how to do that or which IP it is.

After installing the container it lists an IP as part of the connected network (bridge) that is not on my subnet so any help in what I would need to do next? I feel like I’m so close but for all I know I’m still miles off :rofl:

Is there an additional integration that needs to be installed in HAOS to allow for the setup of a local network connection to the container??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Nevermind :face_with_hand_over_mouth: Found it…
I was using the TCP port mentioned in the doc for broadlinkmanager, but for Portainer I was able to access it by using my HAOS IP with the internal portainer port of 32768.

Not sure I understand it but the main thing is it works :sweat_smile:

since update HA 2024.6 I get message saying the Portainer Addon is removed from the repository. hassio-addons/addon-portainer: Portainer - Home Assistant Community Add-ons (github.com)
When I check the repository it says: “This repository has been archived by the owner on Nov 11, 2021. It is now read-only.” This is the first time I receive this message.

It’s most likely removed but I have an up-to-date version in my repo GitHub - alexbelgium/hassio-addons: My homeassistant addons
