Managing other portainer instances from one - do I need the server and agent (alien.top)

I have 3 portainer servers on different VPS's on different providers.
I'd like to centrally manage them using one, but I guess be able to login to each one if there is an issue.
Do I need to install both the server and agent on both the 'remote' machines, or can I just have the server and use that.

Just run keep your main box as is and install portainer agent on the other two alongside your portainer install. Works fine on my setup, running 4 right now. Plus, if your main box or an agent dies, then it’s easy to just log into the server interface of the box you need.
