I have installed Portainer via dietpi-software but cannot connect to it.
The container logs show that…
2021/04/07 05:49:10 No administrator account was created after 5 min. Shutting down the Portainer instance for security reasons.

Going to IP:8000 get no response.
Have I missed something?
Should the installer create the admin account/password?
IP:9000
Portainer webgui is on port 9000
DietPi will install Portainer on port 9002 and not 9000. See our online docs https://dietpi.com/docs/software/programming/#portainer

Joulinar Thanks. That was what I’m missing.
I’d not dug into the docs - RTFM 
it’s always worth taking a look 
Hi DietPi folks. First post here (getting up to speed on this ecosystem, great so far). In following the instructions @ https://dietpi.com/docs/software/programming/#portainer , I was also confused as there’s no mention of adjusting startup config.
Generally, should installs from the dietpi-software tool work out of the box? Or should I expect to tinker, such as adding the -v “/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock” to Portainer’s container startup options
Portainer will work out if the box. On first login you will be ask by portainer how to connect to docker. Just select local socket and you are done.
Aja! It does work. Just needed to click that little connect button and ignore the red text. Thank you for the quick response.
