What’s Coming
Section titled “What’s Coming”Dedicated IPv4 addresses will allow containers to have their own public IP addresses, independent of the host server’s IP.
Planned Features
Section titled “Planned Features”- Static IPv4 Assignment - Each container gets a dedicated public IP
- IP Persistence - IP address remains the same across container restarts
- Direct Routing - Services accessible directly via IP (no proxy routing)
- Multiple IPs per Container - Support for multiple IPv4 addresses per container
- IP Pooling - Rent blocks of IPs for your projects
Current Alternatives
Section titled “Current Alternatives”While dedicated IPv4 is in development, you can configure container networking using:
1. Network Configuration (Exit IP Routing)
Section titled “1. Network Configuration (Exit IP Routing)”Change the exit IP address for outbound traffic from containers:
- Network Configuration → - Route traffic through SOCKS5/HTTP proxies or VPN providers
- Container appears to originate from proxy/VPN IP
- Works for outbound connections only
2. Hoody Proxy (Inbound Service Access)
Section titled “2. Hoody Proxy (Inbound Service Access)”Access container services via URLs (HTTP/HTTPS):
- Hoody Proxy → - Makes services accessible via unique URLs
- HTTPS with automatic SSL certificates
- No IP address needed for service access
- Works for inbound connections (accessing container services)
3. SSH Access
Section titled “3. SSH Access”Direct SSH/SFTP access to containers:
- SSH → - SSH Proxy routes by public key
- No dedicated IP needed
- Works for terminal and file transfer access
Use Cases (When Available)
Section titled “Use Cases (When Available)”Dedicated IPv4 addresses will enable:
Legacy Application Support:
- Applications that require static IPs
- IP-based licensing systems
- IP whitelisting requirements
Direct Service Hosting:
- No reverse proxy in front
- Direct IP:port access
- Lower latency (no proxy layer)
Multi-IP Scenarios:
- Different IPs for different services
- IP-based traffic segregation
- Compliance requirements
Email/SMTP Hosting:
- Dedicated sending IP for reputation
- Reverse DNS configuration
- IP warmup for deliverability
