Docker support

I desperately need support for docker if I am to renew my membership.

From what I understand, the missing requirement is a Linux kernel version of at least 3.10.

I've talked to support about this before, and they've said it's planned for this summer, so let's hope they can stay true to that :)

  • Hello,

    yes, as you said, we have plans to start supporting "Dockers" at this summer. We will announce about it on our website immediately after it's done.
  • Glad to find out that the plan for Docker support is still active and has some kind of ETA :D

    Will it be supported on your OpenVZ based VPS only, or you'll be introducing KVM based VPS at the same time? I've tried Docker on OpenVZ based VPS, and the experience was really poor.
  • We planing to start offering KVM virtualization. "Dockers" support will be based on KVM, not OpenVZ.
  • Great news!! Thanks for sharing the plan, Lawrence.
  • Any update on this?
  • Dockers will be supported only on our KVM servers, we probably will not support it on OpenVZ servers.

    Unfortunately plans to introduce KVM (as well as Dockers support) has been postponed to autumn. We will provide more information about this shortly.
  • Thanks for update. ;) Looking forward for Docker support asap :)
  • Please, tell start date of Docker support?
  • Still no update on this? :(
  • At the moment we do not have exact ETA. However we have plans to introduce VPS with docker support in late Autumn.
  • Any updates about that? It is not possible to update the kernel on debian. I installed the package but is ignored :-/

    Hello,

    good news! We support Dockers on our KVM based servers.

  • So for who as the openvz vps what have to do?

    You are able to order KVM based server and manually transfer all data from your OpenVZ based servers.

    So I have a XL plan, bought a less of a months, and I have to buy a new machine and pay again for docker support?
  • Is it possible that you will update your OpenVZ 6 to OpenVZ 7 ?
    The KVM servers are pretty much expensive.

    Basically its much more reason to find VPS OpenVZ 7 hosting instead.

    I am trying to get working docker on my vps but I think that after that news I will probably ask for a reimburse :-/

    If you need KVM server we can arrange it in place of your current Standard server.

    Docker can be installed only on our KVM servers.
  • Hey there,
    We use Nextcloud in a 2 TB storage VPS in our society and I have another one running privately. We both desperately try running Collabora Online, which requires docker.
    I know docker is supported in KVM servers but that's not the right ratio of storage, computation power and cost for a private file sharing server :( a storage server is much more suitable for us.

    Are there any plans to enable the installation of docker within the storage VPS? I read that OpenVZ supports docker in one of the newer versions: https://openvz.org/Docker_inside_CT
    I'm pretty sure the combination of a storage VPS and Nextcloud/Collabora is a common thing and there might be a lot of people that may profit from docker support.

    Best regards,
    Matthias

    Hey Matthias,

    since the current version of OpenVZ we use in Standard and Storage VPS is coming to end of its life, we are now testing the newer version of container-based virtualization, which would support newer kernel, this would allow using Docker in all the packages that we offer. There is no ETA at the moment.
  • Hey Giedrius,

    Awesome! We're really looking forward and are happy about any updates :)

    Best regards,
    Matthias

    Hey,

    Our Container VPS are running on OpenVZ 7 and should have no problem using Docker and snaps.
