Once it loads you should see the configuration options that are available in the web user interface. Once we have it set we simply choose to create it which according to the site should be 60 seconds. Next we need to select the operating system for the image as well as select from the applications what we need which is “ Docker“. Once you have an account simply click to create a Droplet.įor this “ Droplet” I am going to call it “ Docker” and then use the $5 a month image. Well first lets spin up a host we can use, for this I am going to use DigitalOcean.

Now Kali Linux is a great tool for penetration and security testing and normally requires a full Virtual Machine to work, however using Docker I can create a single Host and run multiple application and images.

Containers allow segmentation of applications and as such means that I can spin up an Ubuntu image and then run different applications each isolated and protected. Well for one it allows us to create a template for an application that can be almost spun up in a controlled container easily.
