I have small API app written in node.js and i want to run in docker on plesk.
I successfully create image and run in container on local docker machine.

And now I`m not sure how to run this my image run in plesk.

I tried:

3) After upload create image name “sha256:038a9”. BTW: My name of docker image is wapi.

    That because docker image is been loosing the CMD or ENTRYPOINT metadata information while doing 

    docker export 

docker import

    Its been discussed here

    You can publish your image to dockerhub ( private/public ) then import that in plesk.

    There are few ways to export/import containers and images.

    Export container

    docker export container-name | gzip > Zip_File_Name.gz

    Import container

    zcat Zip_File_Name.gz | docker import - container-name

    Docker save container/image in zip file

    docker save -o Zip_File_Name.tar container_name

    Docker load image from zip file

    docker load -i Zip_File_Name.tar

    Plesk Docker Workaround:
    Upload your Docker-Image with FTP. Than use a shell and run the command "docker load -i [yourimagefile.tar]" to deploy the image in the repository of the PLESK-Server. After this you can use your image under PLESK without pain;)
