Containerized Core is officially out of beta and in early access.

What this means: It’s safe to use in production (while there may still be rare edge-case scenarios as it rolls out across the board)

Here’s why it matters: We currently believe that containerization will play a big role in the future of RunCloud. Using Docker, we’re able to isolate application dependencies such as Redis, MariaDB, NGINX, PHP (and so on) from the operating system level. Under the hood this is a big improvement that stands to allow us to continue leveling up what RunCloud makes possible for everyone.
