Deploying docker image to AWS/Google Cloud/Azure

[Rex-am-I]

I am just getting started with Docker, and from what I have been able to gather this may offer me the quickest way to deploy and test the cocorico app on AWS or Google or Azure. Can I bypass getting the docker image on to my local PC (which has Windows anyway) and get that image directly to AWS? And how can I achieve that?

Hi Rex,

this topic is well documented on a lot of websites. Here my advice:

This image is made to be simple, the goal is to provide a simple demo to anyone. The intent is not to be use in a production environment (or a very small one). I recommend you to not choose AWS, Azure or GCP if you do not master them. These tools are powerful but extremely complex. You will spend much time trying to figure out problems to finally install a demo software on a super-heavy production environment.

If you do want to use this Docker image and make it available online, you just have to choose a simpler provider (Scaleway is pretty simple and reliable in Europe for example), install Docker engine (see Docker documentation) and launch the container on the machine as described in the Readme of the repo.
