Docker
Description
Docker containers combines software and related dependencies into a standardized unit for software development that includes everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools and libraries. This guarantees that your application will always run the same and makes collaboration as simple as sharing a container image.
Software Included
| Package | Version | License |
|---|---|---|
| Docker CE | 20.10.7 | Apache 2 |
| Docker Compose | 1.27.0 | Apache 2 |
Getting started after deploying Docker
In addition to the package installation, this One-Click also:
- Configures Docker per the official Docker recommendations.
- Configures Docker Compose per the official Docker Compose recommendations.
Once the Docker One-Click VPS is created on EasyCloudify, you can log into it as root. Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s public IPv4 address.
ssh root@your_vps_public_ipv4
docker -d will already be running as a service and the docker command line tool is included in the PATH, so it’s ready to use.
Note: The default firewall for the Docker One-Click is UFW, which is a front end to iptables. However, Docker modifies iptables directly to set up communication to and from containers. This means that UFW won’t give you a full picture of the firewall settings. You can override this behavior in Docker by adding --iptables=false to the Docker daemon.
Recap: Deploy Docker and Docker Compose with EasyCloudify
Docker has become a cornerstone of software development, allowing teams to package code, dependencies, runtime, system tools, and libraries into lightweight containers. This ensures that an application will always run the same, no matter where it’s deployed.
With EasyCloudify’s VPS marketplace, you can launch Docker and Docker Compose in just one click. This streamlined setup means you can start building and scaling projects immediately, without worrying about manual installations or mismatched environments.
Security is also part of the process. By default, your VPS is configured with a firewall to help you control traffic while Docker manages its own networking rules. Together, this gives you a balance of convenience and protection as you deploy your applications.
Whether you’re testing locally or moving to production, EasyCloudify makes it simple to get started with Docker and Docker Compose so you can focus on building, not setup.
