Docker CE
Docker is a free open-source tool for running applications in isolated containers. It allows you to package apps and their dependencies into containers, ensuring consistency across different environments and platforms.
Docker is widely used for easier deployment, scaling, and isolation of applications, helping streamline development, testing, and production workflows.
The Docker image can be installed on Ubuntu versions 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04.
The image includes:
- Docker CE (latest version)
- Docker Compose (latest version available in the repository)
Getting Started
To install Docker CE on your server:
- When creating a new Hostman server or reinstalling an existing one, select Marketplace → Docker.
- Select a preferred Ubuntu version: 18.04, 20.04, or 22.04.
- Finish creating your server.
It may take up to 10 minutes to deploy a server with Docker running.
Once your server is online, you can connect via SSH.
ssh root@your_ip_address
Docker is already running which you can check with:
systemctl status docker
To check the versions of the installed software, run:
docker version
docker compose version
For your next steps, you might want to check the Docker workshop to learn the basics or, if you are already familiar with containerization, get to work with a language-specific guide for your app’s programming language.
