Installing Portainer and Portainer Agent - An update to show you an easier way to manage Docker.

I'm making this as an update to my Portainer video that is now easily more than a year and a half old. The good news is that the old video for Portainer install is really the same as this one will be, except that since the original video the Portainer team split the project into Portainer (a more advanced version of the software available to those who license it), and Portainer-CE (Community Edition) the fully open source version that eventually gets some of those more advanced features.
For my uses and needs as a homelab user, Portainer-CE works just fine, and is a tremendous tool for managing my docker containers.
The second part of this tutorial is about installing Portainer Agent. An agent software that allows the fully installed Portainer-CE to act as a frontend for your Docker containers on other host machines. I also did an older video on how to use Portainer in this way, in particular with a Raspberry Pi as the secondary host, but it was, at best, clunky to get setup and working. Portainer Agent, however, is a much simpler, and more straight-forward install.
