I just finished building my first web app with Docker for managing external packages, and I'm curious if Google has any services that can host Docker containers. I've got my billing info set up with Google Cloud, but from what I've seen, it looks like there's no free option for hosting Docker. Can anyone clarify if there are options available?

Yeah, you can use Google Cloud Run for hosting your Docker containers. But just a heads-up, it's not a free service, so keep that in mind!
Honestly, if you're flexible about hosting providers, you might find more options elsewhere like AWS or Azure, which have free tiers that could be helpful. Just ensure that it works for your project requirements.
If you're also thinking about storing your container images, check out the Google Container Registry. It's great for managing and distributing your Docker containers!
Google Cloud Run is the main service you're looking for. It's designed to run containerized applications easily.
But be aware that while Cloud Run is super convenient, they do charge for usage, so plan accordingly!
