1. Introduction

Docker is one of the most popular platforms for running applications in lightweight containers.
With the Docker template in the MyHBD Cloud Panel, you can install Docker on your VPS automatically without manual setup.

Our system provides two ways to use the Docker installer:

  • Choose the Docker one-click install option during VPS order.
  • Or install Docker later using the Docker recipe inside the MyHBD Cloud Panel.

2. Install Docker During VPS Order (One Click Installer)

  • When ordering a VPS at MyHBD.net, go to the One Click Install tab.
  • Select Docker Installer from the list of applications.
  • Your VPS will be deployed with Docker pre-installed using our optimized Docker template.

This is the fastest way to start using Docker on a new VPS.


3. Install Docker Using the Docker Template (Recipes in Cloud Panel)

  • Log in to Client Area → Select your VPS → Login to Cloud Panel
  • Or directly open MyHBD Cloud Panel.
  • Navigate to Recipes.
  • Choose Docker Template (Docker installer) and confirm installation.
  • The recipe will automatically install the latest version of Docker on your VPS.

This option is useful if you already have a VPS running and want to add Docker later.


4. Verify Docker Installation

After installation, log in to your VPS via SSH and run:

docker --version

This command should display the installed Docker version, confirming that the Docker installer completed successfully.

5. Logs and Install Information

All installation logs are saved in:

/dockerinstalllog.text

Check this file to see detailed information about the Docker installation process.

6. Important Notes

•	You can install Docker during VPS order with the one click Docker installer or later with the Docker recipe template.
•	Installation time may vary depending on server resources.
•	Make sure your VPS has internet access for package downloads.
•	Non-root users may need sudo to run Docker commands.
•	To reinstall or remove Docker, simply re-run the Docker installer recipe.
