Deploying your app

Introduction

In this page you will learn how to deploy your apps in Docker Deploy. But first let’s take a look on where are you private images stored.

Pre-requirements

To be able to deploy your app, your will first need the following:

  1. An app that runs.
  2. A Dockerfile that builds your image properly
