Why Docker?
Docker is a containerization technology where once an application is defined through a recipe, as a whole the full set of services required to run the app becomes reproducible, predictable and also quite a bit portable. From portability comes scalability.
For anyone with preference for simplicity, flexibility and data ownership, our Docker based application hosting services are perfect for booting up self-hosted applications. We can get you up and running with your own Docker or Podman instance, or host your Docker compose stacks under our management.
Managed Docker Instance
We prepare the base system, Docker or Podman stack, and a management interface like Dockge for easy access and management of as many apps you want to operate within the physical limits. The underlying system can be a virtualized slice of machine on our own infrastructure, or an external cloud or bare-metal provider of your choice. It is also possible to orchestrate multiple Docker instances across data-centers under a single control panel. For options, please contact us with your requirements or goal.
Docker vs. Podman
Docker is the original technology which popularized containerization. In course of time, Podman was introduced by RedHat to challenge the architectural and security limitations of Docker. If compatibility is your priority then the original Docker is a good choice. If you are capable to overcome the compatibility issues by making small adjustments to your application recipes, then Podman is could be a superior choice.
Managed Application Hosting
Instead of managing an entire Docker fleet, it is often easier, affordable and time-saving to host one or few applications under our management. Examples include Paperless-NGX, Vaultwarden, Uptime Kuma, Matomo, RustDesk, Immich etc. In such setup, no access to Docker management or control panel will be provided. You will have direct access to your application instance through HTTPS endpoint and/or SSH as applicable.
