Overview
Portainer Docker Containers For WHMCS is a powerful tool that connects your WHMCS system with Portainer to let you offer fully automated, container-based services. Whether you are deploying single container environments or full stacks, the module takes care of everything from initial setup and resource allocation to ongoing management and monitoring.
As soon as the order is complete, your customers get instant access to their services, with options to start, stop, or restart containers, view real-time logs and resource graphs, access an interactive terminal, and reinstall environments using predefined app templates. They can even recreate a selected container to apply updates or changes without losing any application data.
From the admin perspective, the module offers comprehensive product control, with support for configurable options, and a dedicated addon for managing logs, translations, and media library images. The range of advanced configuration options lets you define container settings, provide environment variables, apply dynamic labels, and validate user input using a simple visual interface. The module also includes Docker-in-Docker support to deliver isolated container environments for each customer, and integrates with Traefik for automated, domain-based routing of deployed services.
From microservices to full-stack applications - go from idea to ready product without breaking your flow. Order Portainer Docker Containers For WHMCS and make your platform a natural fit for modern, container hosting!
