If you’ve deployed Portainer as a Kubernetes development platform and want to add a different environment, you’re in luck \u2014 the process is quite simple. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recently, I outlined how to deploy Portainer to a MicroK8s Kubernetes cluster<\/a>. The process is surprisingly easy and goes a long way to strip the complications from Kubernetes. That Kubernetes environment makes for a robust development process, but what if you also need to work with Docker? Thankfully, Portainer has many convenient Docker features that make deploying those containers a breeze.<\/p>\n

With Portainer, you can add as many environments as you need to develop for Kubernetes or Docker within the same web-based GUI. In this tutorial, I\u2019ll show you how to add a Docker environment to the same Portainer instance that was deployed using MicroK8s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll need to add a Docker environment to Portainer<\/h2>\n

The only things you\u2019ll need for this process are a running instance of Portainer and a user with sudo privileges. I\u2019ll demonstrate this on the Ubuntu Server 22.04 operating system<\/a>. If your OS differs, you\u2019ll need to alter the steps for installing Docker and Docker Compose.<\/p>\n
