Free Docker hosting

Free Docker hosting on HostKB — bring a Dockerfile, connect Git, and deploy any containerized app.

Free Docker hosting

Free Docker hosting and deploy from Git on HostKB — builds, HTTPS, and logs included.

  • Free application hosting so you can deploy Docker without renting a VPS first
  • Deploy from a Git repo that includes a Dockerfile, or use a public pre-built image
  • One platform for Node, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, and more — as long as it is containerized
  • Git-based deployments with builds, HTTPS, custom domains, and real-time logs
  • Optional auto-deploy on push for continuous deployment

How to deploy Docker on HostKB

Free deployment from Git: connect repo → build → deploy → HTTPS URL.

  1. Create a free HostKB account and open a project.
  2. Create an application with source type Git Repository (deploy from GitHub guide).
  3. Add a Dockerfile (or use Railpack when available) so the platform can build your Docker app.
  4. Set environment variables, then click Build and Deploy.
  5. Open your app URL and attach a custom domain when you go live.

Docker Dockerfile tip

Keep the Dockerfile at the repo root (or set the Dockerfile path / root directory in app settings). EXPOSE the HTTP port your process listens on.

Why use HostKB for Docker

  • One place to host and deploy — free to start, grow when you need
  • Works for APIs, web apps, and containerized services — not only static sites
  • Scale later with app sizes without changing your Git workflow
