Setup process

• Download Termux from F-Droid store and install it.

• Setup Alpine VM in Termux with this one-line-install command (Thanks to egandro)

  curl -o termux-setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm/master/termux-setup.sh && chmod 755 ./termux-setup.sh && ./termux-setup.sh

  This will take around 8 minutes to complete

• Run curl script. This will backup default startqemu.sh that got generated during VM creation and put amended on in it's place.

  curl -o portainer_port.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrp-yt/docker_and_portainer_on_dex/main/portainer_port.sh &&
  chmod 755 ./portainer_port.sh &&
  ./portainer_port.sh &&
  rm portainer_port.sh

• Start Alpine VM using new startqemu.sh file

  cd ~/alpine/ && ./startqemu.sh

  NOTE - Default login details:\ User root\ Passwd Secret123

• Portainer-CE container install command

  docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce

• To check if Portainer container is running.

  docker ps
