    Portainer on Windows 10

Here I have 2 methods for running portainer on windows, a quick, preferred method only requiring a fairly recent version of docker, or a more complicated method to try if that does not work.
Using host.docker.internal

This setup will let you run Portainer on windows by using the host.docker.internal endpoint (docker.for.win.localhost is depricated since docker version 3.2.1, but older versions may use this instead).
Please note:

This will expose your docker API, without TLS, publicly from your machine.
For more advanced config see the portainer docs.

Step 1 Enable docker without TLS

Docker settings -> General -> Expose docker daemon on tcp://...
Step 2 Run Portainer Image

The only trick here is to use this endpoint: tcp://host.docker.internal:2375 (tcp://docker.for.win.localhost:2375 is depricated).
Create portainer volume

Powsershell (admin):
docker volume create portainer_data
Create portainer container

With No Auth

docker run -d -p 3040:9000 --name portainer --restart=always -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer --no-auth -H tcp://host.docker.internal:2375
With Auth

docker run -d -p 3040:9000 --name portainer --restart=always -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer -H tcp://host.docker.internal:2375
Go to http://localhost:3040
To remove and revert all changes

Powsershell (admin):
docker stop portainer

docker rm portainer

docker rmi portainer/portainer

docker volume rm portainer_data
Using a loopback address (Fallback method)

This setup will let you run Portainer on windows by using a loopback address.
Please note:

Working with (current) Docker version 2.1.0.1, Windows 10 Build 18362.
YOU NEED TO BE ON LINUX CONTAINERS, this will not work on windows containers.
This will expose your docker API, without TLS, publicly from your machine.
For more advanced config see the portainer docs.

Step 1 Enable docker without TLS

Docker settings -> General -> Expose docker daemon on tcp://...
Find your docker API address

ipconfig -> Ethernet adapter vEthernet (DockerNAT): -> IPv4 Address -> eg: 10.0.75.1
This will be referred to as $DockerAddress.
Step 2 Create Looback Address

Powsershell (admin):
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=$DockerAddress listenport=2375 connectaddress=127.0.0.1 connectport=2375
Step 3 Allow Loopback through Firewall

Powsershell (admin):
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Docker" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=2375 enable=yes profile=domain,private,public
OR, Manual version, create new firewall rule:
Firewall inbound rule:
	Rule Type: Port
	Protocol and Ports: TCP, 2375
	Action: Allow
	Profile: Domain, Private & Public
	Name: Docker

Edit Rule
	Scope, Remote IP address: 127.0.0.1

Step 4 Test Loopback

If the above steps were done correctly you should be able to see the docker API exposed on http://127.0.0.1:2375/ and http://10.0.75.1:2375/ (will just return a {"message":"page not found"} response).
Step 5 Run Portainer Image

Create portainer volume

Powsershell (admin):
docker volume create portainer_data
Create portainer container

With Auth

docker run -d -p 3040:9000 --name portainer --restart=always -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer
Go to http://localhost:3040 and add your endpoint (endpoint is: $DockerAddress:2375)
With No Auth

Powsershell (admin):
docker run -d -p 3040:9000 --name portainer --restart=always -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer --no-auth -H tcp://$DockerAddress:2375
Go to http://localhost:3040
To remove and revert all changes

Powsershell (admin):
docker stop portainer

docker rm portainer

docker rmi portainer/portainer

docker volume rm portainer_data

netsh interface portproxy reset

netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Docker"
