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.

Live in 3 Steps

How to Deploy Your Docker Container

From zero to production in minutes -- standard Docker, no proprietary format.

1

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.

docker build -t my-app . → docker push ghcr.io/your-name/my-app
2

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.

3

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.

Container Platform

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.

3 Container Types

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.

LAY7 cloud
  • Fully managed platform
  • No server management
  • Automatic restarts
  • Scale with a click
Self-managed Server
  • Maintain Docker & OS yourself
  • Updates, patches, firewall
  • Set up monitoring yourself
  • Scale manually
No Lock-in
Standard Docker Images

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which container registries are supported?
Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io), GitLab Registry and any other OCI-compatible registry. You can store credentials for private registries in the dashboard.
Do I need Kubernetes knowledge?
No. The Kubernetes infrastructure is fully managed by us. You work exclusively through the dashboard. No kubectl, no YAML manifests, no cluster management.
Can I use multiple containers per deployment?
Yes. A container deployment can include boot containers (run once during deployment), runtime containers (running continuously) and job containers (on a schedule). Each container type has its own commands and resources.
How do I connect a domain?
In the dashboard, you assign domains directly to your container deployment. SSL certificates are automatically issued and renewed via Let's Encrypt.
What happens if my container crashes?
Kubernetes automatically restarts crashed containers -- usually within a few seconds. You don't need to configure anything, no supervisor needed. Container logs are available directly in the dashboard.
