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. You can use it to keep your containers on their own subnet.
