What our engineers handle on Docker and Docker Compose
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Maintain Compose stacks, image updates and restart policies
- 2Back up volumes and databases running in containers, and test a restore
- 3Stop containers publishing ports to the whole internet by accident, and set the firewall properly
- 4Prune images and logs, and set log rotation so the disk does not fill
Problems we fix
Problem
The disk fills with images and container logs
What we do
We prune safely, set log limits in the daemon and add a disk alert.
Problem
A container port is open to the internet
What we do
We bind it to localhost or a private network or place a proxy in front, and fix the firewall rules Docker bypasses.
Problem
An update changed the app behaviour
What we do
We pin image versions, roll back to the working one and test the new version separately.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about Docker and Docker Compose
Do you manage Docker on Windows or only Linux?
We manage Docker on Linux servers. For Windows hosts we agree the scope first.
Can you convert our server setup into Docker?
Yes, for apps that suit it. We build images and Compose files, test them on a copy and move across with a rollback plan.
What does it cost to have Docker and Docker Compose managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and Docker and Docker Compose is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
