Introduction:

For users focused on Application Containerization, rapidly deploying solutions like Docker is essential for creating consistent and portable development and runtime environments. NovaCloud provides an affordable, reliable, and highly secure cloud computing service that facilitates the quick setup of these specialized instances via the Customer Portal.

To simplify the deployment of containerization technology, the Customer Portal offers the Create Instance from One-Click Application feature. This streamlined method is designed to launch a Cloud Instance that comes pre-configured with the required software. To specifically deploy Docker, users need to select the Application Containerization category during the instance creation process.

This guide provides a professional, step-by-step walkthrough detailing how to launch a Cloud Instance pre-configured with Docker using the One-Click Application feature in the NovaCloud Customer Portal, enabling you to rapidly establish a powerful platform for building, shipping, and running applications.

Prerequisites:

The user must have access to the Customer Portal.
The account balance must contain sufficient credit/points
The user must select an existing Public Key during the creation process. If you do not have any keys yet, you are required to generate or import one before proceeding.

Step-by-step Guide:

Step 1: Click NovaCloud

Locate and click on the NovaCloud section in the left-hand navigation menu to access cloud resources.

Step 2: Click Cloud Instances

Navigate to the management interface for your virtual machine resources.

Step 3: Click Launch Project

Initiate the process for deploying a new cloud resource.

Step 4: Click Create Instance from One-Click Application

Select the accelerated deployment method designed for provisioning instances pre-installed with your chosen application (database).

Step 5: Choose Category as App Containerization and Select Docker and Choose the Version

Ensure the Category is selected as App Containerization.
Select the specific application, Docker
Choose the required version you wish to deploy

Step 6: Select a Plan

Choose the appropriate resource plan (CPU, RAM, data transfer limits) for your database instance.

Important Note ⚠️: You can optionally choose a RAM Optimised plan if your needs require higher performance characteristics, which is particularly suitable for data storage applications.

Step 7: Select Your Storage and Key in Volume Size

Define the volume size for your storage.

Important Note ⚠️: The volume size must be at least 10 GB and no more than 1000 GB in size.

Step 8: Select Project to Attach, Key in Name Instance and Click Continue

Associate the instance with an existing project (if desired) and provide a unique name for your instance.

Important Note ⚠️: The instance name can only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes, and must be between 1 and 60 characters long.

Step 9: Select Public Key

Select the necessary Public Key.

Step 10: Configure Security Group Rules

Define the specific security group rules that govern network access to the instance.

Step 11: Assign Security Groups, Select Network to Attach and Click Create

Apply specific existing security groups (if needed)
Select the network(s) to attach.

Important Note ⚠️: You can skip the assigned security group system and the system will auto assign a security group for you. Attaching a private network automatically assigns a private IP to ensure secure, private, and performant communication, and network transfers between private IP addresses are not metered.

Step 12: Scroll and Click Create

A confirmation pop-up will appear. Review the specifications, scroll to the bottom, and click Create to launch the instance.

Step 13: Click Instance

Click the “Instances” button in the confirmation pop-up to navigate to the list of Cloud Instances.

Step 14: Success

Your request to launch the instance has been queued, and the provisioning process is underway (status “Creating” or “Active”).

Conclusion:

By successfully completing the outlined steps, you have leveraged the streamlined Create Instance from One-Click Application feature to deploy a pre-configured Docker instance within the NovaCloud Customer Portal. This efficient provisioning process included configuring your instance’s resources (Plan) and setting the persistent Volume Size to be between 10 GB and 1000 GB.

Following the final click of “Create”, your Docker instance request was queued, and you can monitor its status (“Creating” or “Active”) by clicking “Instance” and observing the Cloud Instances page.

Upon confirming the cloud instance creation, your App Containerization instance was queued for provisioning, and its status can be monitored in the “All Cloud Instances” section of your Customer Portal.
