Portainer¶
Portainer simplifies your Docker container management via Portainer web interface. It enables faster deploy of the applications and it gives real time visibility.
It starts automatically after installation. View Portainer web interface by opening the browser using next URL:

Logitech Media Server already listened to port
9000, and this is why Portainer has been configured to start using port9002. For more details on the implementation Portainer in DietPi see the GitHub task: MichaIng/DietPi!3933 ↩
