include old portainer created containers.

Ask a Question!

I hade to reinstall/reset portainer due to I forgotten the password.
Just set it up with 3 containers and didn't store the passord in my pwm, so not much to loos I thought.
But now the containers say they was created outside portainer. They was created in my old setup.
How can I "include" them again without needing to wipe the containers?

Hi @varazir You will need to redeploy your containers via Portainer if you removed the Portainer volume, which it sounds like you did. The reason for this is because Portainer keeps a record of all stacks deployed in its database and if that database is removed then Portainer no longer has any context on how those stacks were deployed.

For future, if you forget your Portainer password you can reset it by following our docs - https://docs.portainer.io/advanced/reset-admin
