Docker: Getting started

This documentation is part of the Node.js guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to use and deploy a Node.js app with Docker.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use Docker cloud CaaS (Containers as a Service) platform, designed for fast and reliable container deployments:

• Deploy to production with a single docker-compose up command. No additional configuration required: just launch your containers.
• Choose your own domain name, automatically secured with HTTPS (for example: https://api.your-company.com, https://www.your-company.com, or https://backoffice.your-company.com).
• Take advantage of high performance and enhanced security on private, dedicated infrastructure.
• Apply updates with a single click for simple, effortless maintenance.

Your containers can be running in production in about five minutes. Stackhero manages the infrastructure, updates, and security for you, so you can focus on developing your applications. Learn more about Docker CaaS cloud hosting.

If Docker is not yet installed on your computer, you can download it from the Docker official website. To verify that Docker is functioning correctly, open a terminal and run docker version. You should see version information without any errors.

After installing Docker, clone the following boilerplate repository:

git clone https://github.com/stackhero-io/nodejsWithDockerGettingStarted/
cd nodejsWithDockerGettingStarted

Then, start the development platform by running make development-start or view all available commands with make help.
