Frequently Asked Questions — Docker on AIC Cloud
Which AIC Cloud plan is best for Docker?
For development / single-container projects, Essential 1 GB at ₹99/mo works. For multi-container stacks (web + db + cache + worker), 2 GB (₹199/mo) is the sweet spot. For production Docker workloads with 5+ containers or large database containers, 4 GB (₹399/mo) or 8 GB (₹799/mo).
Does Docker work on AIC Cloud VPS?
Yes — AIC Cloud VPS gives you full root access, so you can install Docker, Docker Compose and containerd. If you need a custom kernel or kernel modules, choose the KVM VPS option (+₹49/month).
Can I run Kubernetes (k3s) on AIC Cloud VPS?
Yes — k3s (lightweight Kubernetes) runs well on AIC Cloud VPS starting at the 2 GB tier. For a single-node k3s cluster, 2-4 GB RAM is recommended. For multi-node clusters across multiple VPS, use AIC Cloud's private networking. For production Kubernetes at scale, dedicated servers (/dedicated-servers) provide better isolation.
How much storage do Docker containers use?
Container image sizes vary widely. A typical web app stack (nginx + node + postgres + redis) uses 1-2 GB of Docker images. Container volumes for databases grow with data — a 10 GB NVMe disk on Essential 1 GB plan handles small projects; for larger persistent data, the 2 GB (20 GB NVMe) or 4 GB (40 GB NVMe) plans give more headroom.
Can I use Docker Hub from AIC Cloud VPS?
Yes — Docker Hub pulls work normally from AIC Cloud's APAC datacenter. For faster pulls of large images, configure a private Docker registry or use a pull-through cache. For private image registries, GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) and Docker Hub Private work the same way.
