Portainer as a docker image?

[vdupont]

I'm wondering if this is for security reason that Portainer isn't running as a docker image...?

I was using the last version on my regular RPi and use a feature which isn't present on the one of the NetPi, and then I asked myself how I could update the portainer or simply load a new version as a docker image. It failed because the docker /var/run/docker.sock isn't exposed to the container.

Just something to know...

Yes Portainer.io does not run as docker image, but native on the system. You are not able to update portainer.io yourself.

And yes we disabled the Docker feature to execute volume bind mappings such as /var/run/docker.sock. This is made because of security reasons.
