Any way I can make money selling docker containers?

[livecrunch]

Am very technical, and was wondering what are some things that I can sell as a docker containers? I have one of the latest technologies open to me that can spin up thousands of containers on a fly all fully automated. So was wondering what could I sell to people , what is profitable?

Example: One could ask me ' build me wordpress site"
That would be around 4 containers that would be up and running within 1-10seconds. Now I don't really want to deal with the traffic and say something like proxies etc.. because I want this to be more of a legit business.

Think of docker containers of little computer servers that live in the cloud, it could be a simple say ssh box that one could use to ssh somewhere else, or it could be a little python task like a bot for following unfollowing IG users..

Reddit has subreddits dedicated to that & to people wanting to learn everything about docker containers, so I'd say look into that.
You could also always start a SaaS service.

LinkedIn recruiters constantly search for people who could offer a consultation in regards to that topic too, usually at 175$/hour.

Am looking more for SaaS service to provide vs giving consultation, as I already am doing that.
I just want to use my technical skills in a good way to provide SaaS.

Yes, +1 for reddit. Also, you can sell anything to anyone, just gotta find the right business/person to do so with.

I had to Google "docker containers". I knew I was a bit off when you mentioned Wordpress... I originally thought you were talking about those shipping containers you find on the docks

You're the technical person here so you only know what you're capable of and the docker is capable of.

Think of all the things you can do with the dockerized containers that relate to IM and list out the things here. People will then vote for the idea they like.

Oh man, making money with those would be easy as hell. Shipping container houses are in such high demand nowadays.

Essentially you want to go in the hosting business. That you use Docker instead of KVM or OpenVZ doesn't matter to the non-technical user. Selling LCX container is common via Proxmox. A few more esoteric hosts sell Docker+SmartOS zones which are even more secure. So those things are out there. You need to find a niche.

If you want to use docker to make money, there are 3 ways:

Coding - a job or freelance
Teaching - create a niche related reputation. Docker, kubernets, etc. are a huge topic!
Use it in your projects.

My blog is using docker stack... Machine and compose. With nginx and letsencrypt, hosting a blog is a pieace of cake!

You can automate de process and sell it for a few bucks... If you can offer something special, it will bring you money!

And you can refer digital oceab for example... So it could turn into a free hosting for you...

I have about 10 blogs running in a $10 droplet, each one run with 2 containers, and 3 for all the containers (nginx, mysql, wordpress, letsencrypt and one for letencrypt automation)

If someone need help with it, send a message

I knew people would confuse 'dock/er/ing' and 'containers' !

Anyway, I'll see to find some type of SaaS model where 'widgets' can be sold. For example as user: "Rafael Marques" mentions it: he is using a compute device for $10 but running few blogs on it. I was hoping to see if its possible to sell something like say Minecraft server/service or as Rafael mentions it "letsencrypt" (Free SSL for sites) - am running around 200 sites with letsencrypt ssl certs that cost me $0 , but in reality would cost me around $10-40 per SSL cert.

Could you guys think of any function that can be sold? Like I was mentioning a python script running on a 'container' that follows/unfollows users on IG (Fyi this is just an example, and would not advise anyone to try running more than x amount of it from some cloud provider)

Its a good offer to! On fiverrr there are lots of people selling scrape scripts!
