I'm not super familiar with portainer since i usually run it with CLI
but, for an easy option, try this.

1. you could download the repo by clicking the green code button and
then click download zip
2. extract the zip file
3. Open the .env file and edit the password that's in there and make
any other changes if needed
4. run the command "docker compose up -d"
5. go to the web portal for that container by going to the IP of the
host you're running it on with port number 3000

There's a docker compose file.

Instead of calling the .env file you can just put your environment
variables in the compose...

This doesn't require a write up or step by step guide.

So read the errors and fix them...they literally tell you exactly what
went wrong.
