This tutorial will cover the downloading, configuration, and starting of Ignition Edge IIoT as a Docker container using Portainer.
Upon completion of this tutorial you will have Ignition Edge IIoT installed as a Docker container which will be ready to configure and use.
Begin by ensure Portainer is running and you are set up to manager the target Docker environment. Information on Portainer can be found here. If using a Hilscher Edge device consult the Hilscher documentation for access to the Portainer Portal.
Open a Web Browser to your Portainer instance and select 'Images' on the left. In the name section enter one of the two following strings depending on your platform architecture:

Select 'Volumes' on the left and add two new ones by clicking the 'Add Volume' button. Then type the name of the first volume as 'ignition-data' as shown below and click 'Create the volume'. Ensure 'Access control' is also disabled.

This is all shown below in the 64-bit Linux example.
In addition set the following advanced properties via the bottom tabs.
Finally, start the container by clicking the 'Deploy the container' under the 'Actions' section as shown below.
After deploying you should see the new container now running as shown below.
Install the MQTT Transmission Module following the instructions here.
You will be browsing to the new Ignition instance running as a Docker container. The URL will be http://localhost:8088 if you are running the Docker environment locally. Otherwise it would be accessible at http://[ip_address_of_docker_environment]:8088.
Use the default credentials for Ignition:
At this point you are ready to configure and use Ignition Edge IIoT and more information can be found in the links below.
