docker-caddy-elysia-deploy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious and error-prone process of manually configuring reverse proxies, SSL certificates, and container orchestration for Bun-based Elysia.js backend services and React single-page applications, removing the need for legacy nginx + certbot deployments that require manual certificate renewal and complex routing setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated HTTPS & Reverse Proxy: Uses Caddy to automatically provision and renew SSL certificates for Elysia.js backends and React SPAs, with pre-configured routing rules for API and static file serving.
• Production-Ready Docker Templates: Provides tested docker-compose configurations for persistent SQLite storage, secure environment variable management, and multi-service Docker networking.
• Comprehensive Troubleshooting Playbook: Includes fixes for common deployment errors, including Caddyfile syntax issues, Linux EC2 Docker networking edge cases, Elysia route prefix mismatches, and SQLite data persistence problems. Use case: A full-stack developer deploying a Bun-based chatbot backend and React frontend can use this Skill to avoid common Caddy routing pitfalls, get auto-HTTPS working in minutes, and ensure database data persists across container restarts.
