There is no way I'd trust that with my containers. Most of the website is fake (as in just text rather than links).
I think the developer launched the product too soon.
I don't think it's launched. It's a demo.
Yeah, based on feedbacks, I will try to launch!
Thank you for your interest.

This website is a kind of demo screen, but not fake. Actually running Docker remotely and run containers in it.

He's running a (very) lean startup! But it is not fake since you actually can run containers there.

Goid luck to the dev behind it!

The sub-domains you are assigning doesn't work for me. Lookup fails.

Eg: https://zeyxnt8hs40zr2.docker-run.com/ https://qazf5k4ow7gpz2vq.docker-run.com/

Thank you for your interest.

sub-domains would works, but the container will be destroyed after 120 seconds for this demo. Of course it persist in production environment (soon).

I think 120 seconds is really short, say 10-15 minutes would be better for demo.
I dont understand what provlem this service would solve?

Also, nginx:latest doesnt work with error WebSocket connection to 'wss://api.docker-run.com/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 502

Thank you for trying and researching.

Sorry, in that time server is down due to disk space. I fixed it, so please try again.

This service will try to implement simple container management in production. Mainly for small start-ups, like Heroku.

Didn't work for me either. First time I tried nothing happened - just hung, the second time it started to build an nginx container but failed with a permission denied error. Also the only link that works is the link to Github.
Thank you for trying!

The system is down when you tried because of disk space. I fixed it so could you try again? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nice, it worked for me.
Maybe it's just the avalanche of HN traffic but I can't get to your pricing tab (or the others)
Thank you for pointing out.

Pricing is not decided. However, current ui is sucks so will show a message soon.

I presume the domain name is a violation of the Docker trademark, seeing as it could potentially be confused for an official product (as it uses the Docker name)
Given that they warned against using it in repos and even Twitter handles [1], it’d be a wise choice to use some other name.

Not allowing people to call their custom docker tooling "docker-custom-tooling" on eg. Github seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, it might be bad and damage their brand, but it could also enable a great ecosystem of surrounding tooling, some of which they could bless if they wanted to. Imho a poor PR move.
By no means am I a lawyer but I did a quick skim of their trademark agreement for fun:

Our Marks consist of the following registered, unregistered and/or pending trademarks, service marks and logos which are subject to change without notice: Docker, Docker “Moby Dock” whale logo and the stylist representations of a container, octopus, and other entities in our original works of authorship, DOCKER HUB, RUNHUB, LIBCONTAINER, LIBTRUST, LIBCHAN, LIBSWARM, LIBPACK, DOCKER SWARM, DOCKERIZE IT, CLAY

In this case, "Docker" is the trademark we're looking at, and specifically registered with a capital D it appears

Any permitted use must not falsely imply or suggest a sponsorship or endorsement by, or a partnership or affiliation with Docker.

I don't think the author is being malicious in any way of course but from a quick glance, I couldn't say for sure that it's not a Docker product (design guidelines aside)

The Docker mark is used only in a referential context or for naming Docker or to indicate compatibility, and not in a title of a program, domain name, website, product or service

This is essentially the key distinguisher between the parent comment and the OP's site

Anyway, it's not so much that I'm pro-Docker or anything, it's more that they don't really have a choice legally. If companies don't protect the use of their copyrights/trademarks etc, they are diluted and risk the chance of becoming "generic". Having said that, it can definitely go overboard and lead to frivolous DMCAs, lawsuits etc etc

All this aside, while I'm not sure I have a use for the site (most things I dockerise use a compose file w/ multiple containers), it seems like a neat project so keep it up :)

Is "Docker Dun (beta)" the intended page title?
Thank you for your response. That was just a typo, fixed it!
It's a bit like https://zeit.co/now without the CLI that builds and pushes the images.
Yes, but they are migrating their own FaaS to v2. In some case docker based PaaS is useful.
Doesn't seem very sustainable, what's the business model?
Thank you for the question.

The same as Heroku, provide docker-based PaaS and users would pay for their containers.

Next thing you'd want is docker-compose support for multiple containers running together
Can you talk to the problem Docker-Run is trying to solve? It's already relatively easy to deploy docker containers today (AWS/Azure/GCP/DigitalOcean/etc) and even have them pipe to the browser like this.

Without an ecosystem of services to integrate (Identity/Storage/DB/Queue/DNS/LB/Network/etc), containers aren't awfully useful.

What is the differentiator?
