Docker and Docker Compose Setup
Updated: 2026-05-31
from from $50 USD · per project
I’ll containerize your application in Docker or debug an existing setup.
I handle everything from scratch — writing Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml — to troubleshooting a running stack: network not coming up, container crashing, or image sizes ballooning to 2 GB.
Result: a stable containerized stack with a clean structure and documentation.
Requirements
- • Server with SSH access
- • Description of the application or stack (language, dependencies, ports)
- • Existing code or docker-compose file if available
Service includes
- • Docker Engine installation and setup on a VPS or server
- • Writing Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml for your project
- • Networks, volumes, and restart policy configuration
- • Docker image optimization: size reduction, multi-stage builds
- • Reverse proxy setup (Nginx, Caddy) in front of containers
- • Basic container monitoring and logging
