Using Docker – Using Remote Docker

 
administrator guideplesk administrationusing dockerdockerlicense key

By default, Plesk uses Docker installed as a Plesk component. However,
you can use one or more Docker services installed outside of Plesk. Note
that you can use only one service at a time. The hostname of the
selected server is displayed in the title of Docker Catalog in Plesk.

Note: Managing remote Docker services requires a Plesk license key add-on.
Without this add-on, you can only manage the local Docker service,
which is running on the Plesk server.

Configuring Remote Services

Configure the remote server that runs Docker as described in the Docker
documentation
to use
it as a remote server in Plesk.

Managing Remote Services

The following steps are applicable to both Plesk for Linux and for
Windows.

To start using Docker that runs on a remote host:

  1. Go to Tools & Settings > Docker (under Server
    Management
    ).
  2. Click Add Server and specify the settings of the remote server
    with Docker.
  3. To start using this Docker service in Plesk, leave Set active
    selected.

The link to Docker will appear in the left navigation panel.

To switch between Docker services:

  1. Go to Tools & Settings > Docker (under Server
    Management
    ).
  2. In the list of servers, select the server that you are going to use
    and click Set Active.

Alternatively, you can set the server as active while editing its
settings.
