FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy apps to my own self-hosted servers with rolling updates?

To deploy apps to your own self-hosted servers with rolling updates, you can use a CLI tool that automates project initialization, local development, and deployment workflows. It provides framework guardrails, load balancing, HTTPS, and server orchestration for end-to-end delivery.

What is the best way to manage secrets for self-hosted application deployments?

The best way to manage secrets for self-hosted application deployments is using a CLI that includes built-in secrets management. This approach securely handles environment variables and sensitive data directly within your local development and server orchestration workflow.

Can I auto-detect Go, Bun, Node, or Deno runtimes from my project files for deployment?

Yes, you can auto-detect Go, Bun, Node, and Deno runtimes from your project files. The CLI automatically identifies your runtime environment during initialization, scaffolds the necessary configuration file, and installs the required SDK.

How do I set up local HTTPS for testing a self-hosted app before deployment?

To set up local HTTPS for testing a self-hosted app, you can use a CLI development server with a built-in HTTPS proxy. This feature provides a local .test domain for testing your application securely before deploying it to production servers.

Does this CLI deployment tool work without external dependencies or components?

Yes, this CLI deployment tool works without external dependencies or components. It operates independently to provide runtime detection, wizard-driven setup, SDK installation, and a comprehensive suite of commands for deploying apps on your own private servers.

Why do I need a configuration file and SDK for deploying apps to private servers?

You need a configuration file and SDK for deploying apps to private servers because they provide the necessary framework guardrails. The configuration file defines your deployment settings, while the SDK integrates local development, secrets management, and rolling deployment commands.
