Save and reuse your own Docker template

Before you start

Have a working image reference and know its required command, ports, mount path, and hardware requirements. A template describes configuration; it is not a running rental.

Steps

1. Open Docker templates in Developer tools and create a template where your account has that permission.
2. Enter a descriptive name and the exact image reference. Prefer a tested immutable digest for repeatable deployments.
3. Set the startup command, environment settings, ports, disk sizes, and volume mount required by the image. Keep secrets out of template descriptions and shared fields.
4. Save the template and select a compatible offering. Inspect the applied configuration on the service wizard before deploying.
5. Run a small test workload and verify persistence and connection settings. Update the template deliberately when changing image versions.

Check the result

A later deployment can reuse the configuration while still validating hardware and provider compatibility.

Troubleshooting

A saved template may be unavailable on incompatible hardware. Custom templates do not become provider-certified just because they are saved.
