Guide
Installing Portainer on Raspberry Pi

Downloading portainer from docker
sudo docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest
Running portainer from docker CLI.
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest
Usage
Used Portainer for managing docker images.
Issue while running Docker compose got solved by turning off Open VPN service in the background while Docker compose was executing some commands.
Linux Media Server Script from this github also helped a lot.

Folder creation by Portainer - docker folders.
So sometimes when restarted it creates a race condition to map a folder / directory for NAS / external HDD on Raspberry Pi. So I have to disable Portainer - containers like transmission, radarr, sonarr. and make sure that previous folder / directory gets named to something suffix_12 and then after restart the Raspberry Pi assigns the appropriate HDD name in /media/pi/HDD_name
Sometimes
deployment error - request failed with status code 500
This could be because of port being bind previously and some process still has a lock.
So we just restart our docker process by ssh the server.
sudo service docker stop
sudo service docker stop
