Running docker containers on servers(Production line)
Is it possible to run docker directly on the server i.e. production server with an OS?
As I wanted to host a website on my server (hardware), I am curious if I can make a docker container and run it on the hardware on ubuntu server.
Can anyone tell me if its possible and if it's possible what problems I might face?
Whenever I search on google it always shows result about windows server.

As in without any OS installed? No, it's not possible - Docker requires an OS to run. See this question on StackOverflow for more details.
Edit:
I'm not sure if that is what you mean, but you cannot run Docker as a bare-metal hypervisor since Docker containers do not contain a kernel - rather they use the underlying OS's kernel to run - see explanation on Wikipedia. The closes you can get to running Docker as a bare-metal hypervisor is to use Container Linux as a host OS.

Then what do you mean by 'directly'? You can only use Linux containers on Docker on Linux OS and they do not require a VM or anything of the sort.
