If you are using Fastpanel<\/strong> to manage a VPS, you will find it great for PHP\/WordPress websites. However, if you want to run other modern applications (such as n8n, Nextcloud, Node.js\u2026) then Docker<\/strong> is the best solution.<\/p>

The only issue is that Fastpanel has occupied ports 80 and 443. So how to access the Docker management interface (Portainer) using a standard SSL domain name (e.g.: portainer.dps.media<\/code>) without typing IP:9443<\/code>?<\/p>

This article will guide you from A-Z on how to install Docker, Portainer and configure Reverse Proxy directly on Fastpanel<\/strong> (Native) on Ubuntu 24.04 platform.<\/p>

Step 1: Install Docker on VPS<\/h2>

First, you need to SSH into the VPS with root<\/code> privileges and run the official Docker installation command.<\/p>

1. Update system:<\/strong><\/p>

Bash<\/p>

apt update && apt upgrade -y\n<\/code><\/pre>
2. Install Docker (Automatic script):<\/strong><\/p>
Bash<\/p>
curl -fsSL https:\/\/get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh\nsh get-docker.sh\n<\/code><\/pre>
After installation, you can check if Docker is running with the command docker -v<\/code>.<\/p>
Step 2: Install Portainer (Docker management interface)<\/h2>
Instead of typing commands, we will install Portainer CE<\/strong> to manage containers through an intuitive web interface.<\/p>
1. Create data storage space (Volume):<\/strong><\/p>
Bash<\/p>
docker volume create portainer_data\n<\/code><\/pre>
2. Run Portainer container:<\/strong><\/p>
Bash<\/p>
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer --restart=always -v \/var\/run\/docker.sock:\/var\/run\/docker.sock -v portainer_data:\/data portainer\/portainer-ce:latest\n<\/code><\/pre>
At this point, Portainer is running on port 9443<\/code> (HTTPS).<\/p>
Step 3: Configure Reverse Proxy on Fastpanel<\/h2>
This is the most important step to expose Portainer to the internet using your domain name.<\/p>
