We launched sliplane.io, where deploying Docker containers is super simple and wallet-friendly.
With our Pay-per-Server approach, you can host as many containers as you want on each server at a set price - no huge surprise bills, just straightforward Docker hosting.
You simply connect your Github repository and we do the rest that you expect from a PaaS, SSL by default, automatic deployments, backups of your storage etc. Pricing starts at 9€/month for 2vCPU, 2GB RAM, 40 GB Disk, 2 TB Egress.
Cheers, Jonas
I like the idea of the service though, but pricing is not that attractive for me currently.
Personally I think the price is high given the free alternative, but would pay it if you made some kind of security guarantees around one docker container not pwning the others, maybe you marketing can emphasize that self hosting docker containers is a footgun if you don't know what you're doing.
Re footgun: Yes, just dont want to start with fear mongering marketing :D
All the best for you and your project!
would like to see a supported Terraform provider
I built a similar in-house project like this for a client. I used the Go docker SDK and had quite a few edge cases to solve! Very curious to see if you had a similar experience.
Congratulations on launching!
I'm currently building a similar service but for 'serverless functions' (hate that terminology to be honest), so not long running containers but one off tasks. Similar to AWS Lambda and the likes.
gonna try and probably recommend your product to some friends who need this :)
I should also point out that "Docker hosting" is rather ambiguous. I had to scroll way down the page to figure out whether you are storing Docker images (like DockerHub) or running them (like ECS or fly.io).
Post-GDPR rules in the EU are clear about the Cookie Banner, providers must make it as easy to refuse cookies as it is to accept them.[1] Also, as you said, livechat cookies are definitely not required when visiting the website, but they make it impossible to opt out. I assume they cut this corner because it was too much work for them to conditionally include their livechat javascript.
If the authors moved fast and broke things on basic stuff, my first thought is "what kind of other corners did they cut when deploying/running docker?" There is a lot of security and isolation options/configuration involved when one runs docker in a secure environment, which are not enabled by default.

The linked doc is 8 pages of rules about layout, placement, color, contrast, function, etc. of components in a cookie banner. Said document references (without quote or link in most cases) various EU statutes, directives, regulations, and opinions.
Even with all that, the doc carries a disclaimer that it is not to be considered authoritative and various other requirements and interpretations may also govern said banners.
Telling people that this is "clear" is perhaps you saying that you have developed an uncommon expertise in this area. For which: that is great for you.
But let's be absolutely straight about this: none of this is clear to a person who does not possess the uncommon expertise you have.
No, just stupid and wasn't aware. Fixing that right now!
- EU cookie banners and GDPR
- How to display prices in the EU
While both are "consumer protection regulation" they are also extra work for early startups. A good case study on how the EU bureaucracy affects a startup.
Darn.
In the EU you're not allowed to advertise a price without all taxes. This means that per country you need to know the VAT % and adjust the price accordingly. You cannot change the price per EU country. You set a base price for the EU and add VAT. Since VAT differs per country this will cause non-round numbers. But this is expected.
"When you buy goods online in the EU, prices may vary from country to country or across different versions of the same website, for example due to differences in delivery costs. However, if you buy goods online without cross-border delivery – such as when you buy something online which you intend to collect from a trader or shop yourself – you should have access to the same prices and special offers as buyers living in that EU country."
