Docker Service: Deploy Any Application in Minutes
The data Lab now supports deploying Docker containers directly within your data lab environment, unlocking unlimited possibilities for adding services and functionalities. The Docker Service makes it simple to run powerful third-party applications and databases—from AI tools to specialized databases—without complex setup or configuration. Think of it as a "one-click deploy" system for professional-grade software tools that seamlessly integrate with your lab.
Why use it?
- Deploy production-ready applications instantly - Add databases, web apps, AI tools, and more with just a few lines of code
- Zero infrastructure headaches - No need to manage servers, networks, or SSL certificates
- Automatic security - HTTPS encryption and credential management built-in
- Seamless integration - Applications connect automatically to your lab environment
- Backup peace of mind - Your data is automatically included in lab backups
Perfect for:
- Adding databases to power your data workflows (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
- Deploying AI/ML services like RAGflow for intelligent document processing
- Running web applications that complement your research or business operations
- Integrating third-party tools without leaving your lab environment
Key Benefits
Simple Deployment
Launch complex multi-container applications with a single command. No Docker expertise required.
Enterprise-Ready HTTPS
Your applications are automatically accessible via secure HTTPS URLs like https://myapp.yourlab.com with automatic SSL certificate management.
Managed Credentials
Passwords and connection details are automatically generated, stored securely, and managed for you.
Always Available
Set applications to auto-start when your lab boots up, ensuring your critical services are always running.
Development & Production Support
The same deployment works seamlessly across local development environments and production servers.
Use Cases
- Research Teams: Deploy Jupyter notebooks, RStudio servers, or specialized scientific software alongside your data pipelines
- Data Scientists: Add vector databases, search engines, or ML model servers to enhance your analytics
- Business Users: Run business intelligence tools, dashboards, or custom web applications within your secure lab environment
- Developers: Quickly spin up test databases, message queues, or caching services for development
Getting Started
Deploying an application is as simple as:
- Choose what you want to deploy (from templates or bring your own)
- Configure any settings (we'll generate secure passwords for you)
- Launch it—your application is live in minutes with HTTPS access
The Docker Service handles all the technical complexity, so you can focus on your work, not on infrastructure management.
Ready to expand your lab's capabilities? The Docker Service makes deploying professional software tools as easy as running an experiment.
