Application hosting

Hosting Docker Engine

A container runtime for packaging and running applications. Installing the engine does not automatically secure or size the applications you deploy.

Understand the setup

Check runtime, storage and installation requirements before choosing a server.

See requirements

Budget your resources

Allow room for the operating system, database and your actual workload.

Open resource planner

Build your shortlist

Compare plan details and review which requirements still need checking.

Must have

Installation requirements

  • A supported operating system and architecture for the chosen installation path.
  • Administrative access to install the engine and configure permissions.

Recommended

Planning guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Capacity depends on your workload

Resource needs depend on the applications, images and persistent data. No universal host memory or CPU figure is entered.

We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.

Deploy with

Supported paths

  • Official packages
  • Convenience script for development

The host must provide

Runtime

Docker Engine
Choose a supported release for your operating system

Storage

Persistent data

Persist application data in volumes or explicit mounts; container replacement should not remove the only copy.

Step by step

Plan a Docker Engine deployment

  1. Choose the supported installation

    Follow the instructions for your operating system.

    Official instructions
  2. Plan persistent data

    Configure application volumes, networks and access before exposing services.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Restrict access to the Docker daemon.
  • Publish only necessary application ports.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include image storage, logs, application volumes and backups.
