If you need absolute control over your Docker image's build, Aptible Deploy lets you deploy directly from a Docker image.

The workflow for Direct Docker Image Deploy is as follows:

1. You build your Docker image locally, or in a CI platform
2. You push the image to a Docker registry
3. You use the aptible deploy command to initiate a deployment on Aptible Deploy from the image stored in your registry.

If you'd like to experiment with Direct Docker Image Deploy, but don't have a suitable image handy, check out this Direct Docker Image Deploy Example.
