Docker Application Hosting

Most hosted platforms support single containers. Fewer support Docker Compose files — the multi-service configurations that most real applications actually use. We deploy Docker Compose applications natively, which means your local development configuration and your production environment are defined by the same file.

A typical web application in Docker Compose: your app container, a PostgreSQL container, a Redis container, and an Nginx reverse proxy. We deploy all of them, wire up the internal networking, configure the external domain and SSL, and set up restart policies — from a single docker-compose.yml.

We can pull from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry (GHCR), GitLab Registry, or your private registry. For applications where you want to control the build process, we integrate with your existing CI/CD pipeline — your pipeline builds and pushes the image, we deploy it.

For simpler setups, we can build directly from your repository on every push. We support build arguments, multi-stage builds, and build caching to keep build times reasonable even for larger applications.

Containers are ephemeral by design, but your data shouldn't be. We mount persistent volumes for anything that needs to survive container restarts: database files, uploaded assets, application state, and log archives. Volumes are backed up daily as part of our standard managed hosting.

For stateful services that need careful migration handling — databases, in particular — we coordinate with you on upgrade procedures to avoid downtime. We're not a fully automated platform that assumes all workloads are stateless.
