Custom Docker

The Custom Docker addon allows you to deploy and manage custom Docker containers within your TagoIO Deploy projects. This powerful feature enables you to run any containerized application, microservice, or custom workload alongside your other project resources.

What is Container Deployment?​

Container deployment provides a flexible way to run Docker containers in your project infrastructure. This addon supports:

  • Custom Docker Images: Deploy any Docker image from public or private registries
  • Private Registry Support: Authenticate with Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, and other private registries
  • Environment Configuration: Set environment variables for your container applications
  • Network Configuration: Configure port mappings and load balancer settings with TLS support
  • Runtime Customization: Override default working directories and startup commands
  • Real-time Monitoring: View container logs and monitor application performance

[!WARNING]

High log volume can significantly increase your project costs. Monitor your application's logging output and configure appropriate log levels to control expenses.
