Hide portainer container from containers list

Question

How can I hide the portainer container from the Portainer's container list?

Answer 1

Inside a console, run:

docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest && \
echo "FROM portainer/portainer-ce:latest" | docker build --label hidden="true" -t "portainer/portainer-ce:latest" -

This will create a new image of Portainer, with the label hidden="true" applied.

Then, re-install the Portainer's docker container:

docker stop portainer && \
docker rm portainer && \
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

Open Portainer at http://localhost:8000, go to "Settings" (bottom left), at the "Hidden containers" section, and add an entry with name=hidden, value=true:

Now the portainer's container won't be visible at the containers list.
