Docker Hosting without Server Hassle
Any Docker image, any language, any framework. Push your image, configure it in the dashboard, done. Kubernetes power without Kubernetes complexity.
Host Docker containers without server administration -- push your image, done
Docker hosting on LAY7 cloud means: you deliver a Docker image, we run the infrastructure. Whether it's a Node.js API, Python microservice, Go backend, Ruby app or any other stack -- if it exists as a Docker image, it runs on LAY7 cloud. No server maintenance, no Kubernetes YAML, no cluster management.
Your containers run on managed Kubernetes infrastructure with automatic restarts and failover. If a container crashes, Kubernetes restarts it within seconds. If a node fails, containers are automatically moved to healthy nodes. You configure your application in the dashboard, not on the command line.
Three container types cover every use case: boot containers for one-time setup tasks like database migrations, runtime containers for continuously running processes like web servers and workers, job containers for scheduled tasks. Each type with its own resources, each with its own performance level.
Any Docker Image
Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP -- any language, any framework.
No Vendor Lock-in
Standard Docker images. Your image runs anywhere, not just with us.
Server Location Germany
GDPR compliant. Your data stays in German data centers.
Per-minute Billing
No base fee, no minimum contract. Only pay for what you use.
How to Deploy Your Docker Container
From zero to production in minutes -- standard Docker, no proprietary format.
Build your Docker image
Create a Dockerfile for your application -- or use an existing image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or your own private registry. Standard Docker, no proprietary buildpack.
Configure in the dashboard
Create a container deployment on LAY7 cloud. Define boot containers for setup tasks, runtime containers for your application and job containers for cron jobs. Environment variables, volumes and domains -- all with a click.
Deploy & scale
A single click starts the deployment. Your containers run on Kubernetes infrastructure with automatic restarts on crashes. As traffic grows, scale CPU and RAM with a click in the dashboard.
Everything Your Containers Need in Production
Kubernetes power without Kubernetes complexity. Managed infrastructure with full Docker flexibility.
Auto-Restart & Failover
Kubernetes continuously monitors your containers. On crashes, an automatic restart happens within seconds. If a node fails, containers are automatically moved to healthy nodes. No supervisor needed -- the infrastructure heals itself.
- Automatic restart on crashes
- Automatic node failover
- Container logs in the dashboard
- No supervisor needed
Private Registries & Environment Variables
Use Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, GitLab Registry or your own private registry. Store credentials securely in the LAY7 cloud dashboard. Environment variables are injected at startup, secrets stay protected. Persistent volumes store data that survives container restarts and deployments.
- Docker Hub, GHCR, GitLab, own registry
- Secure secrets management
- Persistent volumes
- SSL automatically via Let's Encrypt
Managed MariaDB in the Same Network
Databases as a dedicated managed service right next to your containers. Automatic backups with configurable intervals and one-click recovery. Your containers connect via internal hostnames -- minimal latency, maximum performance, without external connection paths.
- MariaDB as a managed service
- Automatic backups
- Internal network, minimal latency
- One-click recovery
You bring the image. We handle the rest.
Whether it's a Node.js API, Python microservice, Go backend or Ruby app -- if it exists as a Docker image, it runs on LAY7 cloud. No Kubernetes YAML, no cluster management, no server maintenance. You focus on your code, we take care of the infrastructure.
Boot containers for setup tasks, runtime containers for persistent processes, job containers for cron jobs. Each type is independently configurable, with its own resources and commands.
Auto-Restart & Failover
If a container crashes, Kubernetes restarts it within seconds. If a node fails, containers are automatically moved to healthy nodes. Automatically, without any action on your part.
Private Registries
Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, GitLab Registry or your own private registry. Store your credentials securely in the dashboard -- your images stay private.
Environment Variables & Volumes
Set environment variables in the dashboard -- securely stored, injected at startup. Persistent volumes for data that needs to survive container restarts. Everything configurable with a single click.
- Fully managed platform
- No server management
- Automatic restarts
- Scale with a click
- Maintain Docker & OS yourself
- Updates, patches, firewall
- Set up monitoring yourself
- Scale manually
No proprietary buildpacks, no platform dependency. Your Docker image runs on LAY7 cloud just like on any other Docker host. If you want to switch, simply take your image with you.
Scale anytime
More CPU and RAM with a click in the dashboard, without server migration. Fewer resources when traffic drops -- you only pay for what you use. No migration required.
Managed MariaDB right next to your containers
Databases as a dedicated managed service -- in the same network as your containers. Automatic backups with configurable intervals and one-click recovery. SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt for all domains, automatically issued and renewed.
