Plan and price

Docker CE itself is free: you pay the normal monthly price of the Frankfurt plan. It needs at least 1 GB RAM and 20 GB disk, and the Apps tab only shows it on plans big enough for it.

All Frankfurt plans

Ready in a few minutes

  1. Order

    Servers → Order → Frankfurt, choose a plan, then select Docker CE on the Apps tab — or press Order on this page.

  2. The server starts

    An Ubuntu 24.04 server is created in Frankfurt like any other.

  3. The app installs itself

    On first boot Docker CE installs and configures itself. There is nothing to do on your side.

  4. Ready

    Allow a few minutes from the moment the server is running.

What you get

Docker Engine
Run container images on your own server.
The Compose plugin
Start multi-container stacks with docker compose.
Nothing in the way
No web interface and no app address: a clean server with Docker, managed over SSH.
Room to grow
Upgrade to a bigger Frankfurt plan later; the disk can only grow.

How to log in

  1. No web page

    Docker CE has no web interface and no app address. You work with it over SSH.

  2. Connect over SSH

    Log in as root with the server’s root password from the panel.

  3. Check Docker

    Run docker compose version to see that everything is in place.

Questions about Docker CE

Is there a web interface?

No. Docker CE has no web UI and no app address; you work over SSH. For a web dashboard that deploys apps from Git, see Coolify.

How long does it take?

Docker is ready within a few minutes of the server running.

Docker CE isn’t in the Apps list. Why?

The chosen plan is too small. Docker CE needs at least 1 GB RAM and 20 GB disk; pick a bigger plan and it appears.

Can I put Docker CE on a server I already have?

Yes, on a Frankfurt server: choose Reinstall and pick Docker CE. Reinstalling wipes the disk.

Is it available in Istanbul?

No. Ready-made apps are only for Frankfurt (Germany) servers.

How is it billed?

Like any server: the monthly plan price is taken when the server is created, and if you cancel, the unused hours go back to your wallet. Pay by card or USDT/TRX (TRC20). You can upgrade to a bigger Frankfurt plan later; the disk can only grow.
