Workload

Rough estimate: Ubuntu plus the Docker daemon, then typical per-container use. Databases and image builds need the most.

How it works

Ship from anywhere. Containers run on your server.

SSH in, or point docker context at the server from your laptop. Compose stacks keep running after you disconnect.

Install

Docker Engine in five commands

Use Docker's own repository, not the older docker.io package from Ubuntu. Run these as root on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server.

Steps follow Docker's install guide for Ubuntu (docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu).

  1. 1

    Add Docker's signing key

    install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings && curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
  2. 2

    Add Docker's repository

    echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(. /etc/os-release && echo $VERSION_CODENAME) stable" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
  3. 3

    Install Docker Engine and Compose

    apt update && apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
  4. 4

    Check it works

    docker run --rm hello-world
  5. 5

    Start your stack

    docker compose up -d

Who it's for

What people run on a Docker VPS

What is a Docker VPS?

A Docker VPS is a virtual server you use to run Docker containers. At FlashRDP it is an Ubuntu 24.04 KVM server with full root access, so Docker Engine, Compose and Buildx run with a real kernel and no restrictions. It runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged: you install Docker (about two minutes) and run your own stacks.

Docker VPS questions

Is Docker preinstalled on the Docker VPS?

No. You get a clean Ubuntu 24.04 server and install Docker Engine from Docker's repository with the five commands above, which takes about two minutes.

How many containers can a Docker VPS run?

It depends on memory more than count. Bronze (4 GB) handles a handful of light containers; an app with Postgres and Redis is comfortable on Silver (8 GB); databases and image builds suit Gold (16 GB) and up.

Does Docker work fully on this VPS?

Yes. KVM gives each server its own kernel, so Docker, Compose, Buildx, user namespaces and custom networks work as they do on bare metal, unlike container-based VPS types such as OpenVZ.

Can I run Docker Swarm or Kubernetes?

Yes. A single-node Swarm or a lightweight Kubernetes such as k3s runs fine; for several nodes, order more servers in the same location.

Are my Docker volumes backed up?

No, the server is unmanaged. Back up volumes yourself, for example with a scheduled docker run that copies them to object storage.

Do I need Coolify to deploy containers?

No, Compose is enough for most stacks. If you want git push deploys, a dashboard and automatic SSL, see Ubuntu VPS for Coolify.
