 Setup Docker on Photon OS on ESXi, and install Portainer and Unifi Controller.
-  * Download the Photon OS ''OVA with virtual hardware v13'' from [[https://github.com/vmware/photon/wiki/Downloading-Photon-OS]]
+{{page>esxi:photon_os#Setup&noheader}}
-  * In ESXi:
-    * ''Create/Register VM''
-    * ''Deploy a virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file''
-    * Name the VM
-    * Upload the Photon OS OVA file
-    * Specify the desired ''Target Datastore''
-    * Accept the License Agreement
-    * Select Deployment Options
-    * Confirm settings
-    *
-    * ''Actions'' > ''Edit Settings''
-    * Select appropriate VM settings depending on desired applications
-    * Use NVMe Controller for the hard disk if using NVMe storage
-    *
-    * Set desired autostart setting
-    * Run VM
-    * Login with root details from the VM note
-    * Set new password
-    * Disable password expiry: ''chage -M -1 root''
-    * Set new hostname: ''hostnamectl set-hostname <hostname>''
-    * Update packages: ''tdnf upgrade''
-    * Enable Docker to run at startup: ''systemctl enable docker''
-    * Shutdown, Save ''Initial'' snapshot, and start the VM again
-    *
-    * Install Portainer:
-      * ''docker volume create portainer_data''
-      * ''docker run --name Portainer --restart=always -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer''
+Then set up Portainer and Unifi Controller:
+  * Power on the VM
+  * Using a SSH client, connect to <hostname>:50001 then run:
+<code bash>
+# Enable Docker to run at startup:
+systemctl enable docker
+# Install Portainer:
+docker volume create portainer_data
+docker run --name Portainer --restart=always -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer

   * Open portainer at http://docker.example.com:9000:
     * Create account
-    * Install [[esxi:Unifi Controller]]
+    * Install the Unifi Controller:{{page>ubnt:unifi_controller#Setup&noheader&inline}}
   * Shutdown, Save ''Configured'' snapshot, and start the VM again
-  * Edit VM note to indicate details/running applications, e.g.:
