Docker on OpenVZ 7 vs KVM

bustersgbustersg Member

I'm used to setup both Docker and Docker Compose on KVM to run WordPress etc.
There is a cheap OpenVZ 7 deal which I like to subscribe to and migrate existing WordPress docker over.

How difficult will it be to setup Docker on OpenVZ 7 vs KVM. Is running Docker more prone to errors vs KVM? When provider says is OpenVZ 7, does it means 100% Docker will run?

    Docker can be installed in just a few commands on Linux. OpenVZ 7 should support it (if you have enough resources, such as RAM, just like in KVM).

    The big question is: why use Docker in the first place? You don't really need Docker for a Wordpress. Personally, I don't like Docker, but that's just my taste.

    From my experiences hosts that uses OpenVZ7 does support docker, but some may require some kind of tweaking from the provider's side. Sometimes it requires a ticket as well. TBH it's best to ask the provider before purchasing

    personally i prefer plain LEMP for wordpress but i learning Docker so i use it for a purpose at least. i find it troublesome to reach out to configure nginx/ php config etc vs LEMP setup.

    a few commands is right, CentOS 7.6 installed Docker in 6 commands. 8 if you want specific stuff.

    Lame! Debian 10 does it in 5.

    apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates wget gnupg2 software-properties-common 
    wget -O - https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | apt-key add
    echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
    apt update
    apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-compose

    You can do it in 2. 😋

    curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
    sh get-docker.sh
