STEP 2. Click the Docker tile to open the Portainer.io⁠ Docker management user interface.

STEP 3. Enter the following parameters under Containers > Add Container

• Image: hilschernetpi/netpi-container-build-environment

• Port mapping: Host "22" (any unused one) -> Container "22"

• Restart policy" : always

• Runtime > Privileged mode : On

STEP 4. Press the button Actions > Start container

Pulling the image from Docker Hub may take up to 5 minutes.

The container starts the SSH service.

Login to it with an SSH client such as putty⁠ using netPI's IP address along with the mapped SSH port. Use the credentials root as user and root as password when asked and you are logged in as root.
