About 2 min

Did you know that Dokploy can reduce deployment times by 75% compared to manual Docker setups? As containerized applications become the industry standard, mastering Dokploy's cloud installation gives developers a strategic advantage in CI/CD pipelines. Let's explore professional-grade deployment methods.

Server Preparation Checklist

Hardware Specifications

Minimum: 2GB RAM, 2vCPU, 20GB SSD (supports 5 concurrent deployments)
Production: 8GB RAM, 4vCPU, 100GB NVMe SSD (handles 50+ microservices)
Enterprise: 32GB RAM, 16vCPU, 1TB RAID Storage (supports 300+ containers)

# Ubuntu/Debian baseline config
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname dokploy-main
sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC
sudo ufw allow 'OpenSSH' && sudo ufw enable

Core Installation Methods

1. Script Installation (Recommended)

# Full stack deployment (Docker + Dokploy)
curl -sSL https://dokploy.com/install.sh | sh

Output Verification

[✔] Docker Engine 25.0.3 installed
[✔] Containerd 1.7.11 configured
[✔] Dokploy v1.8.2 deployment complete
Dashboard accessible at http://<IP>:3000

2. Manual Cluster Setup

# Control Plane Node
sudo apt install -y keepalived haproxy
docker swarm init --advertise-addr <PRIVATE_IP>

# Worker Nodes
docker swarm join --token <SWARM_TOKEN> <CONTROL_IP>:2377

3. Pre-Baked Cloud Images

LightNode's optimized Dokploy VPS (40+ global locations)
1-click deployment with integrated container registry
Built-in monitoring stack (Prometheus/Grafana)

Post-Install Configuration

Security Hardening

# TLS Certificates
sudo dokploy-cli certbot \
--email admin@yourdomain.com \
--domains deploy.yourcompany.com

# Container Isolation
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet=0
sudo iptables -I DOCKER-USER -j DROP -d 127.0.0.0/8

Performance Optimization

# docker-compose.override.yml
services:
  dokploy-core:
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          cpus: '4'
          memory: 8G
    sysctls:
      net.core.somaxconn: '65535'

Enterprise Features

Multi-Cloud Deployment

# AWS EC2 Integration
dokploy cloud attach \
--provider aws \
--access-key AKIAXXX \
--secret-key xxxx

# GCP Node Pool
dokploy node-pool create \
--name gcp-west \
--machine-type n2-standard-8 \
--disk-size 500

CI/CD Pipeline Setup

// Jenkinsfile Example
pipeline {
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      sh 'dokploy build --name ${BUILD_TAG}'
    }
    stage('Deploy') {
      sh 'dokploy deploy ${BUILD_TAG} \
      --env production \
      --replicas 3'
    }
  }
}
