Portainer Agent

Lightweight Portainer remote agent that allows a Portainer server instance to manage this Pi's Docker remotely.

Access

• Port: 9001 (TCP) — Portainer server connects to this

Containers

Container	Image	Role
portainer_agent	portainer/agent:latest	Remote Docker management agent

Compose File

Path: /home/artanis/Desktop/Portainer_Agent/docker-compose.yml (on the Pi)

Dockhand reports the compose location as unknown (needsFileLocation: true). Path inferred from container labels.

Compose content not available via API. Key details from container labels and mounts:

• Mounts /var/lib/docker/volumes and /var/run/docker.sock into the agent container
• Exposes port 9001 on all interfaces

Notes

• No Portainer server is currently running in Docker on either the homelab or this Pi (the portainer stack on the homelab has no containers and is in created state)
• This agent is likely a leftover from a previous setup, or is intended to connect to a Portainer server instance not yet deployed
• The agent has full access to the Pi's Docker socket and volumes — it should only be reachable by a trusted Portainer server
