How to run multiple containers on Cyberpanel is it possible

Created on December 9, 2022 at 8:50 am

It is possible to run multiple containers of the same image on CyberPanel. This can be useful for a variety of reasons, such as running multiple instances of a web application for load balancing or testing purposes.

To run multiple containers of the same image, you would first need to create a container using the CyberPanel interface or command line. Once you have a container running, you can use the docker run command to start additional containers with the same image.

Here is an example of how you would run multiple containers of the same image using the docker run command:

# Pull the desired image from a registry
docker pull [IMAGE_NAME]

# Start the first container
docker run -d --name [CONTAINER_NAME] [IMAGE_NAME]

# Start additional containers
docker run -d --name [CONTAINER_NAME_2] [IMAGE_NAME]
docker run -d --name [CONTAINER_NAME_3] [IMAGE_NAME]
...

In this example, we are pulling the [IMAGE_NAME] from a registry, starting the first container with the docker run command, and then starting additional containers with the same command. You can specify a different name for each container by using the --name flag.

It is also possible to use Docker Compose to run multiple containers of the same image. Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and run multi-container applications using a YAML file. You can use this file to specify the image to use, the number of containers to run, and other settings for each container.

Here is an example of how you would use Docker Compose to run multiple containers of the same image:

version: '3'
services:
  [SERVICE_NAME]:
    image: [IMAGE_NAME]
    deploy:
      replicas: [NUMBER_OF_CONTAINERS]

In this example, we are using the version and services keys to define a multi-container application, and the replicas key to specify the number of containers to run. You can specify the image to use with the image key, and give the service a name with the [SERVICE_NAME] placeholder.

Overall, running multiple containers of the same image on CyberPanel is a simple and effective way to manage multiple instances of a web application or other type of software. Whether you use the docker run command or Docker Compose, you can easily create and manage multiple containers to support your application’s needs.
