# Docker Reference Guide

In our TurboStack you have the option to host your docker containers. You can have multiple docker containers running on the same server or account.

Configuration is done on the user level. This is because all users that have Docker enabled, are added to the docker group and have access to the relevant commands. Other users will be able to use the docker commands.

You can enable Docker in the TurboStack GUI, via:

Accounts > AccountName > Applications cogwheel > Technologies > Docker

You can add the following line to the account that needs docker installed:

docker_enabled: true

After adding this, you can click Save & Publish to start the installation.

Docker might not have the default ports exposed, so you might need to configure the proxy upstream to make your application accessible.

You can do this configuration in the GUI, via:

Accounts > AccountName > Applications cogwheel > Technologies > Reverse Proxy

The following configuration example shows a user that has 2 docker containers running on ports 8081 and 8082.

system_users:
  - username: example
    vhosts:
      - server_name: dashboard.example.tld
        app_name: dashboard
        docker_enabled: true
        cert_type: letsencrypt
        proxy_enabled: true
        proxy_upstream_port: 8081
      - server_name: shop.example.tld
        app_name: shop
        docker_enabled: true
        cert_type: letsencrypt
        proxy_enabled: true
        proxy_upstream_port: 8082
