Overview

Memcached is a simple, high-speed in-memory cache for storing small chunks of arbitrary data. DockerCP provisions it from a clean Docker profile, handling persistent storage, environment configuration, domain mapping, and HTTPS certificates. Once it is running, you can attach domains, issue SSL certificates, inspect logs, and monitor resource usage directly from the panel.

Docker image memcached:alpine
Default port 11211
Deployment type docker image
Recommended resources 2 CPU · 2 GB

How deployment works in DockerCP

This template gives DockerCP the deployment metadata needed to create a service, prepare runtime variables, map persistent storage, expose the internal port, and connect a public domain with SSL when required.

  1. Create or select a project where the service belongs.
  2. Review the Docker image, tag, default port, environment variables, and volume mappings.
  3. Deploy the service and check logs until the application is healthy.
  4. Attach a domain or subdomain when the application must be available publicly.
  5. Enable HTTPS and verify the final browser response.

Configuration

Variable Default / guidance
SERVICE_PORT 11211

Persistent volumes

memcached_data /var/lib/data

Commands

DockerCP handles deployment from the panel, but understanding the equivalent Docker commands helps users debug services with more confidence. 

docker pull memcached:alpine
docker ps --filter "name=memcached"

docker logs --tail=100 memcached

DNS and SSL checklist

Step Expected result
Add A or CNAME record The domain points to the DockerCP server or configured target.
Attach domain to service The service is reachable through the selected hostname.
Enable HTTPS The certificate becomes active and redirect to HTTPS can be enabled.

Troubleshoot

  • Confirm the Docker image and tag exist.
  • Confirm the selected internal port matches the application port.
  • Confirm required variables such as database URL, app URL, and credentials are set.
  • Check service logs after the first deployment.
  • Verify DNS before requesting or renewing SSL certificates.
