SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of managing self-hosted application deployments, handling everything from source code preparation and image building to network configuration and domain routing without manual intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Deployment Lifecycle: Orchestrates the entire flow from GitHub push or ZIP upload to a running, hardened Docker container.
  • Intelligent Build Resolution: Automatically detects whether to use a Dockerfile or Railpack, while managing build secrets securely via BuildKit.
  • Use Case: A developer can push code to a repository and have the system automatically build the image, attach it to a project-specific network, and configure Let's Encrypt HTTPS without needing to manually manage Docker Compose files or network settings.

Quick Start

Use the Deployment System skill to trigger a new deployment for the project with the specified project ID.

How do I automate Docker application deployment on a Linux VPS?

Automating Docker application deployment on a Linux VPS involves orchestrating the end-to-end lifecycle from source preparation to container image building. The system manages network isolation and persistent storage mapping to ensure production-grade hosting without manual intervention.

How does automated deployment handle build secrets and Dockerfiles?

Automated deployment handles build secrets securely via BuildKit. It features intelligent build resolution that automatically detects whether to use a Dockerfile or Railpack, ensuring your container images are built safely without exposing sensitive configuration data.

Can I deploy from a GitHub push without manually managing Docker Compose files?

Yes, you can deploy directly from a GitHub push without managing Docker Compose files. The system automatically builds the image, attaches it to a project-specific network, and configures Let's Encrypt HTTPS for your application.

What happens when a Docker container deployment fails on my VPS?

When a Docker container deployment fails on your VPS, the system provides robust error recovery for deployment failures. It ensures secure handling of the build process and automated proxy attachment to maintain application availability.

Does the deployment system support network isolation for self-hosted applications?

Yes, the deployment system supports network isolation for self-hosted applications. It configures project-specific networks and automated proxy attachment, providing secure domain routing and production-grade hosting for your Docker containers.
