How to Reimage Your Server for Portainer Installation

This guide walks you through installing and setting up Portainer using the Bluehost Portal.

Important:

This applies to both VPS and VDS.

You can install only one application using the one-click installer.
The system will automatically install Docker when reimaging to Potainer.
To change or delete your application, follow the guide: How to Change an Application. Create a backup of your existing applications or templates.
To keep your current template, install the new application manually using SSH. Follow the same steps for both Self-Managed VPS and Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS). The system automatically selects the recommended operating system for Portainer.

Changing the server image will permanently erase all data and settings on this VPS and VDS. This action cannot be undone.

Log in to your Bluehost Portal.
In the left-hand menu, click the Hosting tab.

Click the Manage button on the hosting package you want to reimage.
Click the Reimage button.
Select the Applications tab.
From the list, find Portainer and click Select.
To confirm, please type "reimage" and then click Proceed to start the process.
Wait a few moments while the installation completes.
Once completed, you will see Portainer listed in the Server Image section.

Summary

If you want a simple way to manage Docker containers, Portainer is an excellent option. Since Docker comes pre-installed on your Bluehost Self-Managed VPS and Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), you can directly use the Bluehost Portal to install Portainer. Once installed, just log in to the Portainer dashboard to easily manage your containers.
