Re:Simple web-focused Docker-based mini-PaaS server by darron on Monday July 28, 2014 @12:26AM (#8095181)
This is mainly focused on websites, but you can launch other items that don't require any ports exposed:

http://www.octohost.io/data-stores.html

I added some "magic" Dockerfile comments - this is the one to add in order to not expose anything via HTTP:

NO_HTTP_PROXY

I am not a huge fan of volumes where data is stored on the box - but you can do it the same way I've described on the page.

I think of octohost boxes as app servers - if you have data on it, you should likely have it stored elsewhere. I've used Heroku to store additional data sometimes:

We've also used remote MySQL servers:

There's lots of ways to do it.
