How to install Dokploy on a server

What is Dokploy?

Dokploy is a modern open source server management and application deployment panel. It allows you to:

• run web applications (Node.js, Laravel, WordPress, etc.),
• manage Docker containers through a user-friendly web interface,
• automatically obtain SSL certificates,
• connect your own domains.

Dokploy is suitable for both beginners and experienced developers who want to quickly and conveniently place their projects on the server without unnecessary routine.

What will you need for installation

For installation you will need a virtual server (VPS) with Ubuntu 22.04 (64-bit) operating system — a reliable and stable platform for your applications.

You can choose and order a server in Europe, depending on your preferences and needs.

Installing Dokploy step by step

1. Connect to the server

   After ordering the server, you will receive an IP address and root login to your e-mail. Connect via the terminal:

   ssh root@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS

2. Create a new user (optional, but recommended)

   adduser dokploy
   usermod -aG sudo dokploy

   Then connect as that user:

   ssh dokploy@IP_ADDRESS

3. Install Dokploy

   curl -fsSL https://get.dokploy.com | bash

   The installation will take a few minutes. Once completed, the web panel will be available at: http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS

4. Configure the domain and HTTPS

   To connect to the panel securely and through the domain name:

   • Bind the domain to the IP address of the server via an A-record.
   • Specify your domain in the Dokploy settings.
   • Dokploy itself will issue an SSL certificate (via Let's Encrypt).
   • Access will now be at https://your-domain.ru

What's next?

Now you can deploy any application — Node.js, WordPress, Laravel, etc. — through an intuitive interface. Everything is powered by Docker, but you don't need to get into its settings.
