$ARGUMENTS

Control (start/stop/restart) a named container on a Docker host via the Portainer API.

Steps

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS:

    • Extract action: start, stop, or restart
    • Extract container name
    • Extract host if specified after on (e.g. on docker01)

  2. Run:

python3 $SKILL_DIR/portainer_control.py <action> <container> [--host <host>]

Example: python3 $SKILL_DIR/portainer_control.py restart grafana --host docker01

  1. Report the script output to the user.

  2. If the script reports multiple matches, ask the user to specify the host.

  3. If auth fails, tell the user:

    Set PORTAINER_TOKEN=ptr_... before invoking. Generate one in Portainer: User Settings > Access Tokens.
