ZIP to image
Upload your project archive and let the platform produce the image.
Build and host your custom Docker images
Create an image from a ZIP or RAR archive, or import a GitHub repository. Review your Dockerfile, follow build logs, and use the image when creating an application.

Connected outcomes
A repeatable custom-image pipeline
Move from uploaded source to a running custom image without managing a separate registry or build host.
Explore capabilitiesArchive or GitHub source
Upload a ZIP or RAR archive, or select a connected GitHub repository before the image build starts.
Review before building
Inspect your Dockerfile before creating or rebuilding the image.
Build logs and deployment
Open the image logs as it builds, then create an application from the finished image.
Built to operate
A clear pipeline from source to a running image.
Builds run on Shard Cloud's own infrastructure and stay linked to the application that deploys them, with every step from upload to rebuild logged.
Hosted builds
Keep the image close to the runtime that deploys it.
GitHub rebuilds
Trigger an automatic rebuild whenever your connected repository changes.
Live build logs
Follow each build as it runs, without waiting for a black-box result.
Dockerfile preview
Review your Dockerfile before it's used to create or rebuild the image.
Progressive setup
From ZIP to running image, step by step.
Upload your source, watch the image build in real time, then use it the moment it's ready.
Get started01
Send the source
Upload a ZIP containing your project and Docker configuration.
02
Follow the build
Build and host the image inside Shard Cloud.
03
Publish the release
Use GitHub webhooks to rebuild after code changes.
From connection to the first decision, in one flow.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about Docker images
Start with a ZIP or RAR archive, or import a repository through your GitHub integration. The creation flow lets you choose the source before building.
Yes. Your source (ZIP, RAR, or GitHub repo) needs to already include a Dockerfile — the dashboard shows it to you in a preview step before you create or rebuild the image, it doesn't generate one for you.
Open the image log view from the custom-images dashboard to follow build output and investigate a failed build.
Yes. Rebuild the image from its dashboard flow, or connect a GitHub repository webhook so changes can trigger a rebuild.
After the image is ready, choose it when creating an application or select it in the application's custom-image runtime settings.
Ready to move forward
Ship containers without assembling another pipeline.
Bring your image and use one flow to build, review, and operate.
