Hello,
I have installed docker LXC using the helper script.
During the install, I have been asked if I want to install Portainer, I said yes.
But how to update Portainer when the stack/container doesn't exist inside Portainer ??
Thx
 
Hello

as far as i know the helper script is not officially supported by proxmox or its staff.

to get help with this maybe try the helper script discussion here https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/discussions

maybe try a VM as it will probably work better with docker. if i need a docker container i spin up a VM instead of a LXC container as far as my understanding is as they are imcompatible with each other.
 
Never used those helper scripts, but upgrading portainer is done by pulling new versions of the portainer containers via the docker CLI commands.
See the portainer documentation. Its well explained there.
I usually create a bash script for that, so I can stop portainer, pull new container templates, prune old templates, start portainer and fstrim with a single upgrade command.

Hello,
I have followed your advice.
I have build a new VM server, use docker rootless and make wotking portainer :)
It was hard for me, I have to reconfigure all my dockers now.
Thx again.

Log into your container and do "docker ps" -> it will show you if portainer is running and which ports are mapped to it
