Configure Docker on TurboStack

How to enable Docker for an application on TurboStack so you can run a containerized application, and the YAML it produces.

Enabling Docker for an application provisions the container engine so you can run a containerized application.

Where to configure it

Docker is enabled per application:

  1. Open the host and select the application.
  2. Go to Configure application > Technologies > Docker.
  3. Enable Docker.

To publish the container, also enable the reverse proxy and point its upstream port at the container's exposed port.

YAML configuration

Required

Key Meaning
docker_enabled Set to true to run a containerized application for this application.

Optional

There are no additional Docker keys to set. To expose the container, configure the reverse proxy keys (proxy_enabled, proxy_upstream_port) - see Configure Reverse Proxy.

# Per-application: run a containerized app and proxy to it
docker_enabled: true
proxy_enabled: true
proxy_upstream_port: 3000   # the container's exposed port
