DockHosting Docs

Quickstart

Go from a repository to a live HTTPS URL in about a minute.

1. Create an account

Sign up at app.dockhosting.dev/register. No credit card required — the Free plan is enough to deploy your first app.

2. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://get.dockhosting.dev/install.sh | sh

This installs dock globally and keeps itself updated.

3. Deploy

From the root of your project:

dock deploy

DockHosting reads your repository, picks the right build for your stack (or uses your Dockerfile as-is if you have one), and builds an image. Your container is created on a private network with persistent storage, and it must pass a health check before it receives any traffic — see Zero-downtime deploys.

4. Watch it come up

dock logs --follow

streams the build and runtime logs to your terminal — the same output the dashboard shows.

5. It's live

You'll get a free HTTPS URL immediately:

https://your-app.dockhosting.dev
