Portainer, Supported

The previous post showed that portainer is now available for s390x. Today, the project announced a support offering which can also apply to IBM Z.
This is 22 days from the first PR to the project releasing for s390x and announcing support! Thanks, portainer.io-Team, this is amazing.

Portainer -- Revisited

A previous post described how to run portainer on z. Starting today, s390x support is part of their Docker Hub image. This makes the task a bit easier. Enter

docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /opt/portainer:/data portainer/portainer

and point your browser to port 9000. Done.
Kudos to the portainer.io team for integrating s390x support so quickly!

If you prefer running it on s390x, there are some steps needed, as long as portainer doesn't build it for s390x:
