Your own applications on your VPS
Docker apps: build the app. We will run it.
These days you can put an app together at your kitchen table, with Claude Code for instance, even if you know next to nothing about infrastructure. The harder step has always been getting it into production.
- Git push and you are done – push to the repository, VPS Centre detects the language, installs the dependencies and starts the container for you.
- Python, Node.js or your own Dockerfile – your stack does not fit a template? Bring your own Dockerfile and we will run whatever you need. From a website to a complex application.
- Your app on your domain over HTTPS – reverse proxy, websockets and an SSL certificate are included. You set the domain, VPS Centre takes care of the rest.

Who has trusted us for years
What are Docker apps in VPS Centre?
Deploy your own application as a Docker container straight onto your server. Leave the installation, configuration and startup of Docker to VPS Centre. You only deal with the code.
VPS Centre adds the official repository, installs Docker CE and starts the service. You never touch Docker itself.
Nixpacks detects the language, the version and the start command on its own, and installs the dependencies for Python or Node.js. You do not have to write a Dockerfile.
Push to a Git repository hosted with us, clone from GitHub, or upload a ZIP. If the repository contains a Dockerfile, we build your own image from it.
Create the repository right in VPS Centre and every push deploys automatically. Continuous delivery without any configuration.
Every application runs under the user of its own domain, not under root. Only allowed folders can be mapped in.
Nginx routes the traffic to your domain, handles HTTPS and supports websockets. Every push deploys automatically and the application is publicly available on your domain.
You get managed MariaDB and PostgreSQL, no additional database container. Assign a database and the connection variables are injected into the container automatically.
Start, stop, restart, logs and live CPU, memory, network and disk statistics. Set a RAM limit and run a command right inside the container.
One VPS, six types of applications
A Docker container handles practically anything.
Here are the most common scenarios our customers use it for.
Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) or Node.js (Express, Fastify). Upload the code, VPS Centre recognises the framework, installs the dependencies and starts it. The API is available on your domain over HTTPS within minutes.
Applications built on the Claude, GPT or Gemini API, RAG pipelines, a chatbot with memory or an LLM wrapper. It runs on the server around the clock, API keys stay in .env, customers connect through the web.
Deploy React, Vue, Svelte or a static website through your own Dockerfile with nginx. Upload the build output and the page runs. No server administration.
Scraping, data processing or your own pipeline. The container restarts automatically after a crash. You have the logs in VPS Centre without logging in over SSH.
An open source tool for your team on a subdomain only they can reach. The database connects automatically through the assigned variables.
Go, Ruby, Java, Rust, PHP with a non-standard configuration. Bring a Dockerfile, VPS Centre builds the image, starts the container and connects it to the domain. No limits on language or framework.
What you get in the price of the server
No hidden fees.
Docker installationWe install and configure Docker CE from VPS Centre. You never open a terminal.
Automatic restartThe container starts itself again after a crash or a server restart.
SSL certificateHTTPS for free. Request the certificate for your domain right from VPS Centre.
Reverse proxyWe configure nginx properly, redirect HTTP to HTTPS and switch on websocket support.

Works with the tools you already know
No new ecosystem to learn. Docker apps in VPS Centre work with the languages, repositories and databases you use today.
Languages and frameworks
Python and Node.js in current versions, any language through your own Dockerfile.
- FastAPI, Flask, Django
- Express, Fastify, Next.js
- React, Vue, Svelte (build)
- Go, Ruby, Java and more through a Dockerfile
Deployment and versioning
Get the code into the container in whatever way suits you.
- Git push to a repository hosted with us, with automatic deploy
- Git clone from a public repository (GitHub)
- Uploading a ZIP file
Databases and storage
Assign a database to the application and the connection configures itself.
- MariaDB, PostgreSQL
- Environment variables into .env automatically
- The database available right inside the container
- Adjustable RAM limit
No. VPS Centre installs, configures and manages Docker for you. You upload the code over Git or as a ZIP and VPS Centre takes care of the rest. If you want them, SSH and root access are available. If you do not, you will not need them.
There are ready-made templates for Python and Node.js in current versions. For any other language or framework, including a static website on nginx, you bring your own Dockerfile and VPS Centre builds the image from it and starts the container.
You have three options: a Git push to a repository hosted with us (with automatic deploy), cloning from a public Git repository (GitHub) or uploading a ZIP file. If the repository contains a Dockerfile, VPS Centre builds your own image from it. Otherwise it uses a ready-made template and stack autodetection.
Assign a database to the application in VPS Centre and the environment variables (host, user, database name) are injected into the container automatically. The database is available right inside the container. The application connects without any manual setup.
The container does not run as root, but under the Linux user of the assigned domain. Only folders from allowed paths can be mapped into the container. The container has no access to anything else on the server.
Yes. Every application is a separate container with its own domain or subdomain. On one VPS you can run as many applications as the performance of the server can carry. You set a RAM limit for each application so that it does not affect the others.
It is different. Docker apps run on a VPS where you have root access and full control over the server. Shared hosting has limited permissions and cannot run containers. Managed hosting is a worry-free solution where we look after the whole server. Docker apps in VPS Centre are for those who want to run their own application easily but keep full control.
Your hosting. Your server. Your rules.
