Deploying containers: Tips and Tools | LinQhost

Deploying Containers

Want to use containers to host your applications? Containers are super handy, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. We explain step by step how to deploy and maintain containers.

What you need to know about containers

Containers are 'immutable', which means that you cannot (or rather should not) modify the code inside a container. Want to perform an update? You build a new container and replace the old one. This may sound complicated, but with LinQhost Managed CICD this process becomes a lot easier. Please note that you cannot upload files via FTP or SSH.

Working with multiple containers

A container has one specific task or function (group). For a complete application, you often need multiple containers that work together. This communication happens via an API. To test this locally, we use tools such as Docker Compose. This way you can see how your containers work together in a controlled environment.

Stateless containers

Containers are stateless. This means that it does not matter which container handles a request. For data storage and session management, you use separate solutions. LinQhost helps you with this from A to Z, so that your cloud environment runs smoothly and efficiently.
