Common Questions
Is the CLI really free?
Yes. MIT licensed. Use it for personal projects, startups, enterprises — no restrictions. Pro is optional and adds team collaboration features.
Do I need Docker installed?
Yes. Pier requires Docker Engine 24+ or OrbStack. Pier manages containers through the Docker API — it doesn't replace Docker, it wraps it.
Can I use it in production?
Absolutely. pier deploy uses SSH to push your config to a remote server. It handles Let's Encrypt certs, health checks, and rolling restarts. Many teams use it instead of Kubernetes for small-medium workloads.
How is this different from Docker Compose?
Pier adds: automatic HTTPS, .dock local domains, health-aware dependency ordering, a web dashboard, encrypted secrets, and SSH production deploys. It reads the same service format, so migration is trivial.
