Install Rancher

Installing Rancher on a Linux host using a single Docker container is simple. Simply connect to your host and run the command below.

1. Log in to your Linux host using your preferred shell, such as PuTTy or a remote Terminal connection.

2. From your shell, enter the following command:

   $ sudo docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 80:80 -p 443:443 rancher/rancher
   

   Note:

   • rancher/rancher is hosted on DockerHub. If you don't have access to DockerHub, or you are installing Rancher without an internet connection, refer to {{< ref "private-registries" >}}.
   • For a list of other Rancher server tags available, refer to {{< ref "server-tags" >}}.

Result: Rancher is installed.
