How to Deploy an Application in AccuWeb.Cloud through Docker?
AccuWeb.Cloud, a Platform as a Service (PaaS), offers a diverse marketplace featuring pre-installed applications and clusters. Notably, Docker Engine is among the available applications, facilitating seamless containerization for users.
In Docker hosting, oversight and control of Docker containers are managed through two key components: the Docker daemon (dockerd) and the Docker CLI (docker).

The Docker daemon efficiently manages Docker entities such as images, containers, networks, and volumes. Meanwhile, the Docker CLI provides users with a user-friendly command-line interface for smooth interaction with the Docker daemon.
If an Environment has already been set up, proceed with the provided steps. Otherwise, refer to the article detailing How To Deploy Docker.
Step 1: To retrieve an image from Docker Hub, utilize the following command:
docker pull image_name:tag
Step 2: Access Portainer using the login credentials provided to you via email upon creating the environment. Once logged in, you will observe the image running after pulling it from Docker Hub through the CLI.
Step 3: Once the process is complete, you can run the image and expose it through a specific port using the following command:
docker run -d -p port_number:80 image_name: tag
Step 4: Access your image via the IP assigned in the AccuWeb.Cloud Dashboard, along with the designated port for running it.
IP_Address:port_number
Voila! Your application is now running on AccuWeb.Cloud through Docker. Utilize Portainer with your login credentials for container monitoring and management. With Docker’s efficiency and AccuWeb.Cloud’s infrastructure, your application is ready to serve users effectively.
