How to install Docker Engine (CE) as a Standalone or Worker Node?<\/h2>\n

These days, many developers worldwide like to use Docker containers to package and send their applications. You can make your apps on your computer\/server and then turn them into containers for sending to the cloud.<\/p>\n

Today, we want to discuss how Docker works with AccuWeb.Cloud PaaS. Specifically, we’ll focus on the AccuWeb.Cloud version of Docker, which is easy to set up. You can make a new Docker thing with just a few clicks. It can be on its own or part of a group of Docker things. Let’s look at how this Docker thing works and the different ways you can use it.<\/p>\n

Docker Engine Installation<\/h2>\n

When you install this package, the platform sets up a separate worker node with the Docker Community Edition (CE) engine inside it. It’s like running Docker in its virtual machine (VM). The platform also automatically adjusts the resources for these worker nodes, so you don’t have to worry about getting the right resources. You only pay for what you use.<\/p>\n

If you expect your application to have a lot of users or occasional surges in usage, you can add more worker nodes in advance using the topology wizard. You can also set up auto-scaling triggers to automatically add or remove worker nodes as needed.<\/p>\n

The platform fully supports Docker technology,<\/a> which means you can work with all its main parts:<\/p>\n
