A clean Linux VPS with Docker Engine, Docker Compose, and Portainer CE pre-installed. The foundation other OliveVPS app recipes build on — perfect when you want full control of your own stack. Built for Developers, DevOps engineers, self-hosters who want a container-first server.
Every docker / container plan includes free DDoS protection, full root access, IPv6 networking, daily snapshots, and 24/7 human support.
Order, wait 30 seconds for deploy, log in — your stack is running.
Always the latest stable release from Docker's official repo, not your distro's stale fork.
Built-in plugin. `docker compose up` works out of the box.
Web GUI on port 9443 to manage containers, networks, volumes, and stacks visually.
Non-root user, UFW pre-configured, Docker socket protected, no public Docker API.
Take a Portainer template snapshot once you've configured your stack — redeploy anywhere in seconds.
Outgrow this plan? We migrate your containers to a Kubernetes Pterodactyl or High-CPU box without downtime.

You could install Docker CE on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every docker / container plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.
No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every Docker / Container VPS plan.
The Docker / Container VPS image ships with: Docker CE + Docker Compose + Portainer CE. We don't fork or patch — we use the official upstream releases, with sensible defaults for our hardware. Update on your schedule, not ours.
Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.
The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.
Pick from 20+ datacenter regions worldwide. Docker / Container VPS VPS pricing stays the same in every region — the hardware specs, the bandwidth allowance, the SSD speed. The only thing that changes is your latency to end users.
You can — but you'll spend an hour on the daemon config, networking, log rotation, and Portainer setup. Our image is pre-tuned with sane production defaults: rootless mode disabled (compatibility), log-driver set to json-file with rotation, no swarm mode, BuildKit enabled.
Yes — Compose v2 reads v1 (`docker-compose.yml`) files identically. Old `version: '3'` files still work. The only thing missing is the legacy `docker-compose` binary itself; we ship the `docker compose` plugin instead.
Yes for k3s — it fits in 2 GB RAM and works alongside Docker. For multi-node Kubernetes, use our Pterodactyl Game Panel VPS or a dedicated server.
Absolutely not. Docker's API listens only on the Unix socket, group-restricted to the `docker` user. Portainer talks to the socket locally and exposes its own HTTPS endpoint on 9443.
Order in 60 seconds. Server live in 30. No setup fees, 7-day money-back guarantee.
