The presentation will take place in Room 105 on Saturday, March 7, 2026 - 15:45 to 16:45

In today's increasingly interconnected world, ensuring secure and efficient application deployment is paramount. This talk will provide a comprehensive demonstration designed for both novice and experienced users, guiding attendees through the essentials of Docker setup on a fresh server installation. We will begin by covering the installation process for Docker, highlighting best practices and important configurations to optimize performance and security.

Following the Docker installation, we will move on to deploying a simple yet powerful application within a Docker container. Attendees will learn how to create and manage containers, effectively utilizing Docker's capabilities to streamline application deployment and management.

Next, we will explore the configuration of a custom domain, illustrating the process of linking it to the deployed application. Through this segment, participants will grasp the significance of domain management and how it plays a critical role in enhancing accessibility and professionalism.

To ensure a secure environment, we will introduce Tailscale, a modern VPN solution that simplifies private networking. This part of the talk will demonstrate how to install Tailscale on the server, enabling participants to protect their applications from unauthorized access while maintaining ease of use. Attendees will learn about the key features of Tailscale, such as automatic peer connections and user-friendly access controls, allowing for a seamless integration into their own networks.

By the end of this session, participants will leave with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in deploying Docker containers, configuring domain names, and securing their applications through Tailscale. This knowledge will empower them to enhance not only their personal projects but also their professional environments, leveraging modern technologies to build robust and secure applications. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills or kickstart your journey in containerization and networking, this demonstration promises invaluable takeaways for everyone involved.
