I'll handle them from my lily pad."* 🐸 --- ## 📖 What Does This Skill Do? The **Portainer Skill** gives you control over your Docker infrastructure through Portainer's REST API. Manage containers, stacks, and deployments without touching the web UI. **Features:** - 📊 **Status** — Check Portainer server status - 🖥️ **Endpoints** — List all Docker environments - 📦 **Containers** — List, start, stop, restart containers - 📚 **Stacks** — List and manage Docker Compose stacks - 🔄 **Redeploy** — Pull from git and redeploy stacks - 📜 **Logs** — View container logs --- ## ⚙️ Requirements | What | Details | |------|---------| | **Portainer** | Version 2.x with API access | | **Tools** | `curl`, `jq` | | **Auth** | API Access Token | ### Setup 1. **Get API Token from Portainer:** - Log into Portainer web UI - Click username → My Account - Scroll to "Access tokens" → Add access token - Copy the token (you won't see it again!) 2. **Configure credentials:** ```bash # Add to ~/.thinkfleetbot/.env PORTAINER_URL=https://your-portainer-server:9443 PORTAINER_API_KEY=ptr_your_token_here ``` 3. **Ready!** 🚀 --- ## 🛠️ Commands ### `status` — Check Portainer Server ```bash ./portainer.sh status ``` **Output:** ``` Portainer v2.27.3 ``` --- ### `endpoints` — List Environments ```bash ./portainer.sh endpoints ``` **Output:** ``` 3: portainer (local) - ✓ online 4: production (remote) - ✓ online ``` --- ### `containers` — List Containers ```bash # List containers on default endpoint (4) ./portainer.sh containers # List containers on specific endpoint ./portainer.sh containers 3 ``` **Output:** ``` steinbergerraum-web-1 running Up 2 days cora-web-1 running Up 6 weeks minecraft running Up 6 weeks (healthy) ``` --- ### `stacks` — List All Stacks ```bash ./portainer.sh stacks ``` **Output:** ``` 25: steinbergerraum - ✓ active 33: cora - ✓ active 35: minecraft - ✓ active 4: pulse-website - ✗ inactive ``` --- ### `stack-info` — Stack Details ```bash ./portainer.sh stack-info 25 ``` **Output:** ```json { "Id": 25, "Name": "steinbergerraum", "Status": 1, "EndpointId": 4, "GitConfig": "https://github.com/user/repo", "UpdateDate": "2026-01-25T08:44:56Z" } ``` --- ### `redeploy` — Pull & Redeploy Stack 🔄 ```bash ./portainer.sh redeploy 25 ``` **Output:** ``` ✓ Stack 'steinbergerraum' redeployed successfully ``` This will: 1. Pull latest code from git 2. Rebuild containers if needed 3. Restart the stack --- ### `start` / `stop` / `restart` — Container Control ```bash # Start a container ./portainer.sh start steinbergerraum-web-1 # Stop a container ./portainer.sh stop steinbergerraum-web-1 # Restart a container ./portainer.sh restart steinbergerraum-web-1 # Specify endpoint (default: 4) ./portainer.sh restart steinbergerraum-web-1 4 ``` **Output:** ``` ✓ Container 'steinbergerraum-web-1' restarted ``` --- ### `logs` — View Container Logs ```bash # Last 100 lines (default) ./portainer.sh logs steinbergerraum-web-1 # Last 50 lines ./portainer.sh logs steinbergerraum-web-1 4 50 ``` --- ## 🎯 Example Workflows ### 🚀 "Deploy Website Update" ```bash # After merging PR ./portainer.sh redeploy 25 ./portainer.sh logs steinbergerraum-web-1 4 20 ``` ### 🔧 "Debug Container" ```bash ./portainer.sh containers ./portainer.sh logs cora-web-1 ./portainer.sh restart cora-web-1 ``` ### 📊 "System Overview" ```bash ./portainer.sh status ./portainer.sh endpoints ./portainer.sh containers ./portainer.sh stacks ``` --- ## 🔧 Troubleshooting ### ❌ "Authentication required / Repository not found" **Problem:** Stack redeploy fails with git auth error **Solution:** The stack needs `repositoryGitCredentialID` parameter. The script handles this automatically by reading from the existing stack config. --- ### ❌ "Container not found" **Problem:** Container name doesn't match **Solution:** Use exact name from `./portainer.sh containers`: - Include the full name: `steinbergerraum-web-1` not `steinbergerraum` - Names are case-sensitive --- ### ❌ "PORTAINER_URL and PORTAINER_API_KEY must be set" **Problem:** Credentials not configured **Solution:** ```bash # Add to ~/.thinkfleetbot/.env echo "PORTAINER_URL=https://your-server:9443" >> ~/.thinkfleetbot/.env echo "PORTAINER_API_KEY=ptr_your_token" >> ~/.thinkfleetbot/.env ``` --- ## 🔗 Integration with ThinkFleet ``` "Redeploy the website" → ./portainer.sh redeploy 25 "Show me running containers" → ./portainer.sh containers "Restart the Minecraft server" → ./portainer.sh restart minecraft "What stacks do we have?" → ./portainer.sh stacks ``` --- ## 📜 Changelog | Version | Date | Changes | |---------|------|---------| | 1.0.0 | 2026-01-25 | Initial release | --- ## 🐸 Credits ``` @..@ (----) ( >__< ) "Containers are just fancy lily pads ^^ ^^ for your code to hop around!" ``` **Author:** Andy Steinberger (with help from his ThinkFleetBot Owen the Frog 🐸) **Powered by:** [Portainer](https://portainer.io/) API **Part of:** [ThinkFleetBot](https://thinkfleet-hub.com) Skills Collection --- <div align="center"> **Made with 💚 for the ThinkFleetBot Community** *Ribbit!* 🐸 </div>
