Key Benefits

  • Container Ready - Docker Engine installed and configured

  • Development Tools - Docker Compose for multi-container applications

  • Production Ready - Optimized for containerized workloads

  • Instant Setup - Start deploying containers immediately

Getting Started

When you create your VM, installation begins automatically and takes about 1-2 minutes.

  1. SSH into your server: ssh root@your-server-ip

  2. Run your first container: docker run hello-world

  3. Start building and deploying containerized applications

What's Pre-Configured

  • Docker Engine - Container runtime ready for use

  • Docker Compose - Multi-container application orchestration

  • System Integration - Docker service enabled and running

  • User Permissions - Root user configured for Docker commands

Development Workflow

  1. Connect via SSH - Access your Docker environment

  2. Pull Images - Download container images from Docker Hub

  3. Build Applications - Create custom Docker images

  4. Deploy Services - Use Docker Compose for complex applications

Common Use Cases

  • Microservices development and deployment

  • Application containerization and testing

  • CI/CD pipeline infrastructure

  • Development environment standardization

  • Container orchestration with Docker Swarm

Troubleshooting

Docker commands not working? Wait up to 2 minutes for installation to complete

Permission denied errors? Ensure you're running as root or add user to docker group

Container networking issues? Check firewall settings and Docker daemon status
