How to Install Docker and Run Containers on a Hosteons VPS

Docker is one of the most popular tools for deploying and managing applications in isolated environments called containers. With a Hosteons VPS, you have full root access and KVM virtualization — making it perfect for running Docker!

In this guide, we’ll show you how to install Docker on a VPS (Ubuntu/CentOS/AlmaLinux) and run your first container.


✅ Prerequisites

  • A Hosteons VPS with root access
  • OS: Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 or CentOS 7/8 / AlmaLinux 8/9
  • Updated system packages

🚀 Step 1: Update Your VPS

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

CentOS/AlmaLinux:

sudo yum update -y
# OR
sudo dnf update -y

🚀 Step 2: Install Docker

For 

Ubuntu

:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository \
  "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y

For 

CentOS/AlmaLinux

:

sudo yum install -y yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y

For AlmaLinux 8/9, replace yum with dnf where needed.


🚀 Step 3: Start and Enable Docker

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Check status:

sudo systemctl status docker

🚀 Step 4: Run a Test Container

Run a basic hello-world container:

sudo docker run hello-world

If everything is set up correctly, you’ll see a message from Docker saying your installation is working.


🚀 Step 5: Run Any Container (Example: NGINX)

sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx

Visit your VPS IP in a browser to see the default NGINX welcome page.


⚡ Bonus Tips

  • Add your user to the docker group to avoid using sudo:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Then log out and log back in.

  • You can manage Docker containers using tools like Portainer for a web UI:
sudo docker volume create portainer_data
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 --name=portainer \
    --restart=always \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v portainer_data:/data \
    portainer/portainer-ce

Access it at: http://your-server-ip:9000

Top 5 Tips to Harden Your Linux VPS Against Attacks in 2025

In 2025, cyberattacks are more sophisticated than ever. Whether you’re hosting a personal project or critical business application, securing your Linux VPS is no longer optional—it’s essential. Thankfully, with just a few steps, you can drastically reduce your risk and keep your VPS locked down against the most common threats.

At Hosteons, we provide high-performance KVM VPS with root access, but security is a shared responsibility. Here’s how you can harden your VPS in minutes:


1. Use SSH Keys Instead of Passwords

Disable password login and use SSH key authentication for more secure, automated, and brute-force-resistant logins.

Steps:

  • Generate a key pair using ssh-keygen
  • Upload your public key to your VPS: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Disable password auth in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

👉 Read: Why You Should Use SSH Keys Instead of Passwords


2. Set Up a Firewall (UFW/iptables)

Block unnecessary ports to reduce your attack surface. Only open what’s required (e.g., 22 for SSH, 80/443 for web).

Example with UFW:

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw allow 22
sudo ufw allow 80
sudo ufw allow 443
sudo ufw enable

3. Install and Configure Fail2Ban

Prevent brute-force attacks by banning IPs with too many failed login attempts.

Install Fail2Ban:

sudo apt install fail2ban

Create a jail for SSH and monitor logs like /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure.

👉 Full Fail2Ban Guide


4. Keep the System and Software Updated

Always run the latest security patches. Use tools like unattended-upgrades for automated updates.

Commands:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo yum update

Outdated software is one of the most exploited vulnerabilities.


5. Monitor Login Attempts and File Changes

Install tools to track unauthorized access and suspicious activity.

  • Use auditd to track system events
  • Use logwatch or logcheck to scan logs for anomalies
  • Monitor /var/log/auth.log for failed logins

👉 Read: How to Monitor Login Attempts and File Changes on Your VPS


Bonus: Disable Root Login

Prevent direct root access by using a non-root sudo user instead.

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

PermitRootLogin no

Final Thoughts

Hardened servers are happy servers! With these 5 simple steps, you’ll block the majority of attacks targeting Linux VPS.

At Hosteons, we give you the control, performance, and reliability — now it’s your turn to secure it.
