Docker hosting on a Linux VPS with full root
Docker hosting is a Linux VPS where you run Docker Engine and Docker Compose yourself with full root. At RyzenRDP that is Ubuntu or Debian on high-clock AMD Ryzen cores with Gen4 NVMe SSD storage, set up within minutes of your order: you install Docker, bring your containers up with Compose, keep their data in persistent volumes, and set a restart policy so they come back after a reboot.
- Docker Engine and Docker Compose
- Full root over SSH
- Persistent volumes on Gen4 NVMe SSD
- Set up within minutes
What can you run in Docker containers?
Anything that runs on Linux and only needs CPU and memory. A single VPS can hold several containers at once, wired together in one Docker Compose file.
AI agents
CPU agents packaged with their dependencies in one image that call a model through your own API key. No GPU needed.
Databases and queues
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis or a message queue, each with a named volume on Gen4 NVMe SSD so data survives restarts.
Web apps and APIs
Node.js, Python or Go services behind a reverse-proxy container such as Nginx or Caddy, brought up together with Compose.
How do you install Docker on a RyzenRDP VPS?
You install Docker yourself; it is not pre-installed, which keeps the base image minimal and lets you pin the version you want. On an Ubuntu VPS or Debian VPS you sign in as root over SSH, add Docker's official apt repository, then install the engine and the Compose plugin:
- Add Docker's apt repository and GPG key, following the official Docker documentation for your distribution.
apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin.systemctl enable --now docker, so the daemon starts on boot.- Check it with
docker run hello-worldanddocker compose version.
Docker Engine runs natively on Linux because containers share the server's kernel, so you do
not need the nested virtualization that Docker Desktop uses on Windows. Keep tokens and keys in
an .env file or Docker secrets rather than baking them into an image you share. For the
distributions and root access behind all of this, see the Linux VPS page.
Which Docker VPS plan should you choose?
Shown in Dallas; the same tiers run in every AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC location at the same price. T1 (2 GB RAM) fits one or two light containers, such as a single web app or a small n8n instance. T2 (4 GB) is the pick for a typical Docker Compose stack: a web app, a database and a cache or queue running together. T3 (8 GB) suits heavier stacks, several services at once, or your containers plus build and test runners.

Keeping containers running after a reboot
Containers keep running after a reboot when you give them a restart policy. Start a single
container with docker run --restart unless-stopped ..., or in a Compose file set
restart: unless-stopped (or always) on each service. When the server reboots, the Docker
daemon starts under systemd and relaunches every container that carries a policy.
Your data lives in named volumes on Gen4 NVMe SSD storage, which persist across container
restarts, image updates and reboots: a database container can be recreated from a new image
while its volume keeps the data. Map the volumes you care about in your Compose file and back
them up from the host, since a volume removed with docker volume rm or
docker compose down -v is gone for good.
Can you run GPU or ML containers?
No. A RyzenRDP VPS has no GPU, so GPU-dependent containers are out of scope: model training, image generation and large local model inference all expect a CUDA or other GPU runtime that is not present. What runs well here is CPU work: web apps and APIs, databases, caches and queues, n8n workflows, and AI agents that run on the CPU and call a model through your own API key. If a container needs only CPU and memory, it runs; if it needs a GPU, it does not.

Docker hosting FAQ
How do I install Docker on the VPS?
You install it yourself over SSH as root. On Ubuntu or Debian, add Docker's official apt repository, then run apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin and systemctl enable --now docker. Nothing is pre-installed, so you choose the version.
Can I use Docker Compose?
Yes. The Compose plugin installs with docker-compose-plugin, and you bring a multi-container stack up with docker compose up -d from a docker-compose.yml in your project. One VPS can run several Compose projects side by side.
Will my containers restart after a reboot?
Yes, if you give them a restart policy. Use --restart unless-stopped on docker run, or restart: unless-stopped in Compose. The Docker daemon starts under systemd on boot and relaunches every container that carries a policy.
Does my data survive container restarts and updates?
Yes, when it lives in a named volume. Volumes sit on Gen4 NVMe SSD storage and persist across restarts, image updates and reboots, so you can recreate a database container from a new image without losing its data. Back volumes up from the host.
Which plan should I choose for Docker?
T1 (2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 40 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD) runs one or two light containers. T2 (4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 80 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD) fits a typical Compose stack of a web app, a database and a cache or queue. T3 (6 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 160 GB Gen4 NVMe SSD) suits heavier stacks and several services at once.
Can I run GPU or machine-learning containers?
No. A VPS has no GPU, so GPU-dependent images are out of scope: model training, image generation and large local inference all need a GPU runtime. CPU workloads run well, including CPU-based AI agents that call a model through an API.
Do I get full root for Docker?
Yes. Every Linux VPS comes with the root account over SSH, which is what Docker needs to install packages, manage the daemon and open firewall ports. See the Linux VPS page for the distributions on offer.
How do I pay for Docker hosting?
You can pay with cryptocurrency or a credit or debit card. The plan price does not go up at renewal, and there is no setup fee. If we ever change prices, we tell you before your next renewal.
