Docker VPS

The Docker VPS provides an ideal solution for deploying and managing containers on a virtual private server. Docker makes it easy to package and distribute applications, while the VPS provides the necessary infrastructure to run these containers smoothly. This makes it perfect for developers and enterprises looking for efficient and flexible ways to manage their software.

Characteristics:

  • Rapid deployment: Quickly and easily set up Docker containers.
  • Flexibility: Easily scale and manage containers.
  • Security: Insulation and protection of containers.
  • Support: Availability of technical support for troubleshooting.

For configured user account

Best practices dictate running containers as a user with limited privileges and access. This application creates a "dockeruser" user and a "docker" group. If additional users are expected to run containers, connect via console or SSH to the server as the root user and add them to the 'docker' group:
usermod --append --groups docker anderegebruikersnaam

Set the password for the 'dockeruser' user

Connect via console or SSH and run the following command:
sudo passwd dockeruser

Check operation of docker

Connect via console or with SSH to perform the following check:
su - dockeruser
docker run hello-world

dockeruser@ubuntu24:~$ docker run hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
(amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash
