Running Docker Images

Running Docker Images

Running Rundeck in Docker offers several advantages, including portability across different environments, consistency in application behavior, isolation from other applications, scalability for handling increased workloads, and simplified deployment and management processes. Docker's containerization enables the packaging of Rundeck and its dependencies into a single container, allowing for easy distribution, deployment, and scaling. This approach ensures that Rundeck operates consistently, reduces compatibility issues, and provides flexibility for customers to run Rundeck in their preferred environments.

Full usage information can be found on the Docker configuration page.

Note

It's not advisable to deploy images to production directly from a public repository, such as Dockerhub. Build a derived image and store in your private repository instead.

Tips

See the Docker Configuration Reference for the full set of configuration options.
