Run Docker via the Easy-install script¶

The Easy-install script provides the simplest way to deploy PMM Server with Docker, handling all the necessary setup steps automatically.

Security best practice¶

Before running the script:

Download the installation script from the official Percona domain.
Review the script content to understand its actions.
Consider running the script with the --interactive flag to customize:
- port mappings (default: 443 for HTTPS)
- location where PMM Server stores its data
- PMM Server version (specific version or latest)
- additional configuration parameters (environment variables, resource limits)

Download and install PMM Server using cURL or wget:

cURLwget

curl -fsSL https://www.percona.com/get/pmm | /bin/bash

wget -O - https://www.percona.com/get/pmm | /bin/bash

What does the script do?

This script does the following:

Installs Docker if it is not already installed on your system.
Stops and renames any currently running PMM Server Docker container from pmm-server to pmm-server-{timestamp}. This old pmm-server container is not a recoverable backup.
Pulls and runs the latest PMM Server Docker image.
Can run in Interactive mode to change the default settings:

   curl -fsSLO https://www.percona.com/get/pmm (or wget https://www.percona.com/get/pmm) 
   chmod +x pmm
   ./pmm --interactive

If you encounter Docker installation issues with the Easy-install script (such as ERROR: Unsupported distribution 'rocky' on Rocky Linux):

This two-step approach resolves most installation issues, especially on Rocky Linux where automatic installation may fail.

After deploying PMM Server successfully, continue by setting up PMM Client:
