### Update The Package Manager
We need to update the server before installing Docker

=== "Ubuntu Server"

    ``` sh
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade -y
    ```
        
=== "Rocky Linux"

    ``` sh
    sudo dnf check-update
    ```

### Deploy Docker
Install Docker then deploy Portainer

=== "Ubuntu Server"

    ``` sh
    sudo apt install docker.io -y
    docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /srv/containers/portainer:/data portainer/portainer-ee:latest # (1)
    ```
    
    1.  Be sure to set the `-v /srv/containers/portainer:/data` value to a safe place that gets backed up regularily.

=== "Rocky Linux"

    ``` sh
    sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
    sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
    sudo systemctl start docker
    sudo systemctl enable docker # (1)
    docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /srv/containers/portainer:/data portainer/portainer-ee:latest # (2)
    ```
    
    1.  This is needed to ensure that docker starts automatically every time the server is turned on.
    2.  Be sure to set the `-v /srv/containers/portainer:/data` value to a safe place that gets backed up regularily.

### Configure Docker Network
I highly recomment setting up a [Dedicated Docker MACVLAN Network](https://docs.bunny-lab.io/Containers/Docker/Docker%20Networking/).  You can use it to keep your containers on their own subnet.
