Docker and docker compose on a VPS

Docker runs your project in an isolated container — the same environment in dev and in production.

Install

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sudo sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

docker-compose.yml

services:
  web:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports: ["80:80"]
    restart: unless-stopped

Run it

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f
docker compose down
