In this article, we will be installing and setting up Docker on a Debian 9 VPS.
Docker is an open-source application that provides lightweight operating-system-level virtualization through the use of containers. It is specially designed to increase the productivity of most IT operations by making virtualization easy to use. Containers are in essence a set of software packages that run as one application that’s isolated from other applications. Developers, System Administrators, and the like take advantage of this feature by spawning containers wherein they can create, deploy, and run applications without needing to create another virtual machine, which greatly affects productivity and cost.
Here are the top reasons why organizations and businesses use Docker:
- Increased developer productivity
- Increased deployment velocity
- Increased IT operation efficiency
- Faster resolution of issues that may arise
- Reduction in IT infrastructure cost
Docker is currently developed and maintained by Docker Inc. and is written using the mainstream Go programming language. It is licensed under Apache License 2.0. As of writing, the latest stable version of Docker is 18.09.5.
There are currently two editions of Docker:
- Docker CE – Community Edition – Open Source Software supported by the community and Docker Inc.
- Docker EE – Enterprise Edition – certified and supported by Docker Inc.
Let’s start installing Docker.
Shopware Community Edition (CE) is a free and open-source e-commerce application. As an alternative to another e-commerce application, like Magento, Shopware is a complete e-commerce solution – it is a very powerful and flexible application. Shopware is very easy-to-use, and you don’t need to master PHP in order to use it. The application is based on a number of symphony framework components developed in PhpStorm through the core features and its plugins.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ownCloud on Debian 9. ownCloud is an open-source, self-hosted platform which provides sync and share capabilities across multiple devices. It allows users to easily manage their files, contacts, calendars, to-do lists, and more, making it a great alternative to the popular Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, etc. cloud platforms.
GitLab Community Edition is an open source application that allows a team or developer to manage their project on their own servers, it’s an alternative to GitHub. GitLab Community Edition is designed to be hosted on our own infrastructure, and it provides flexibility in deploying as an internal repository store for our development team, a public way to interface with users, or a means for contributors to host their own projects. GitLab also provides our teams a single data store, one user interface, and one permission model across the DevOps life-cycle allowing teams to collaborate that would significantly reduce cycle time and focus exclusively on building great software quickly. In this article, we will show you How to Install GitLab on Debian 9. GitLab will use some ports on your server, so we encourage you to install this on a fresh server to avoid any conflict with your existing applications.
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss the process of installing Java on Debian 9. Java is a general-purpose programming language developed by Sun Microsystems before being bought by Oracle, who maintain and develop Java to this day. Distinguished as a fast, secure, and reliable language available on all platforms, Java can be established on anything from laptops to game consoles, to computers and cell phones. Since Java code is compiled as bytecode before being executed in a Java Virtual Machine (also known as a JVM), this allows Java programs to be run on any computer architecture with no compatibility barriers.
