Hi, you could mount a remanent volume such as /share from portainer and cp the files?

205

Hi alex thanks for your reply.

How do i mount a container so i can access the files?

The data is in that directory.
My container is mounted at:

Host/volume
/var/lib/MYFOLDER

How can i access it.

When i access with WINSCP and i go to /var/lib/ there is no MYFOLDER.

regards

You could mount ’/mnt/data/supervisor/share’, which is then accessible either through smb with the sambanas addon, or directly with my filebrowser addon

Host/volume Path in container
/mnt/data/supervisor/share /share

Or in, still in portainer, start the filebrowser addon, then map the volume :
/mnt/data/docker/volumes/JBA/_data to /JBA

You could do all that in the ssh&web terminal addon too with full access mode enabled

207

Which add-on (link please) did you use in step 1 ?

Thanks for your reply.

So if i understand it correctly, if i mount ’/mnt/data/supervisor/share’ i gain access to all containers ?
Because i did try it with the filebrowser add-on on portainer, and did not work.

but i still can’t access it.
And with the filebrowser add-on i did try as well.

Did i do something wrong here ?

Hi,

I wasn’t very precise :wink:

  • If you already have an addon with the JDA data, then you could run this addon, mounting ’/mnt/data/supervisor/share’ to /share, then cp your data in it. Then, /share can be accessed through smb or with the filebrowser addon
  • Alternative : that you start the filebrowser addon, then map with portained /mnt/data/docker/volumes/JBA/_data to /JBA. Then you should be able to access your data and cp it to /share

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

212

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

215

Thanks Alex !

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

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?

220

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

221

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.
