At a glance
Docker here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Docker is the container runtime everything else builds on: package an app with its dependencies once, run it identically anywhere. On this catalog it is the substrate you ask for when you want to run your own images.
- What we install
- The playbook installs Docker Engine from the official repository with Compose v2, log rotation configured so containers cannot fill the disk, sensible daemon defaults, and your user wired for non-root use.
- What managed covers
- Engine and server updates, daily snapshots and optional Dual Backups, resource monitoring that catches a runaway container, and the managed firewall in front of whatever you expose. What runs inside your containers is your world; the host is ours.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.
Your options
Three ways to run Docker.
Installing Docker is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged Docker, from $5/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing Docker | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |
| When something breaks | You fix it | You fix it | Our engineers fix it, day or night |
Built for
What people run on Docker here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
A clean container host
Docker Engine and Compose, current and correctly installed, on a server that is actually yours. Bring any stack.
Deploying your own compose files
Paste a compose file, point DNS, done. Ideal for apps our catalog does not carry yet.
Dev and staging environments
Spin projects up and down without polluting a laptop. Same architecture as production, reachable by your team.
Learning containers properly
Root on a real box beats a sandbox. Break it, restore the daily snapshot, break it better.
Stack it
Docker works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as Docker, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.
Pick your server
Choose the size. Docker is $0.
Docker needs 1 GB. Bigger servers leave room for the apps you stack beside it. Every size is fully managed, and you can resize in minutes.

The details
Docker here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Docker hosting include?
A production-ready Engine with Compose, log limits, and monitoring, on a host we patch and back up. You get root and the whole runtime; we keep the machine underneath healthy and the firewall watched. It is the middle ground between a bare VPS and a locked-down PaaS.
Can I run my own images and compose stacks?
Yes, that is the point. Private registries, compose files, build pipelines: all yours. The catalog apps deploy through our playbooks, and your own containers live right beside them on the same Engine.
What happens if a container misbehaves?
The host defends itself: log rotation caps disk usage, monitoring flags sustained CPU or memory pressure, and we contact you with data instead of letting the server fall over. Snapshots mean an experiment gone wrong is a rollback, not a rebuild.
Docker or one of the deployment panels?
Raw Docker suits people comfortable with compose files and the CLI. If you want a UI for deployments, Portainer stacks on top of Docker from this same catalog, and Dokploy or Coolify are available as full panel servers in Panel mode.
FAQ
Docker hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Docker need?
The Engine itself is light; 1 GB covers it plus small containers. Size it by what you plan to run: the sizing calculator counts your actual stack.
Is Compose included?
Yes, Compose v2 as the docker compose plugin, current and from the official repository.
Do you touch my containers?
Only if you ask. Management covers the host, Engine, security, and snapshots. Your containers are your territory unless you want a hand, and then a human is available.
Which Docker pieces are installed?
Docker Engine and the Compose plugin from Docker's official repository, kept current, with sane logging defaults. No opinionated wrapper on top; it is standard Docker.
Can you manage my containers for me?
We manage the server: OS, security, updates, and monitoring, included on every server. Your containers are yours; for a hand with a specific stack, ask, and Custom App Install often covers it.
Is this Docker on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Docker runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Can you help me move my existing data over?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Docker runs. You sleep.
