Services
Containers that make software easy to run
Your applications packaged so they install the same way everywhere, upgrade cleanly and roll back in minutes.
Overview
Why containers
Software that works on one machine and fails on the next is expensive. Containers package an application with everything it needs, so it runs identically on a laptop, a server in your office or a cloud host.
For a small business that means quick, repeatable setups, upgrades that do not break other things, and a clear way back if an update goes wrong. It also means you are not tied to one provider: the same stack can move.
We design the stack, write the configuration, set up backups and monitoring, and document it so it can be run by anyone.

What we do
What we do
Stack design
A tidy, documented set of services for your apps, databases, web servers and background jobs.
Docker Compose setups
Each service in its own folder with clear configuration, so changes are easy to find and review.
Self-hosted tools
Private installs of the business tools you want to own, running on your own hardware or a rented server.
Backups and recovery
Scheduled, tested backups of data and configuration, with a written recovery procedure.
Updates and rollbacks
Version-pinned upgrades with a quick way back, so an update is never a gamble.
Monitoring and alerts
Health checks and uptime alerts, so problems reach us before they reach your customers.
Repeatable
Run it the same way, everywhere
One tidy stack that installs cleanly, upgrades safely and rolls back in minutes.

FAQs
Common questions
Do I need to understand Docker?
No. We build and look after it, and give you a short plain-language guide to what is running and how to recover it.
Can it run on my own server?
Yes. We can set up containers on your hardware, a rented server, or a cloud provider, whichever suits your budget and privacy needs.
What if we want to change provider later?
Containers make that straightforward. Your configuration and data are portable, so moving is a planned job, not a rebuild.
Is it overkill for a small business?
Not when it is done simply. A small, well-documented stack is often cheaper to run and far easier to fix than a one-off server.
