VPS deployment

Deploy a local project to a VPS without hand-editing the server.

VPS deployment works well for small teams, personal projects, internal tools, and products that want server ownership first. Appaloft connects detect, plan, upload, start, verify, and recovery into one repeatable path.

Detect Dockerfile, Compose, static output, or start commands before deploy
Keep credentials in a local profile, Appaloft secret reference, or GitHub Secrets
After deploy, continue with logs, health, and rollback candidates

Best fit

APIs, frontend sites, workers, cron jobs, Compose apps, and internal tools can all start with VPS deployment.

Credential boundary

Do not commit SSH keys or tokens. The CLI should use local profiles or secret references; GitHub Action should use GitHub Secrets.

Verification

After deploy, open the URL, check the health endpoint, recent logs, service status, and rollback candidate.

Deployment flow

1

Prepare server

Confirm SSH, Docker or target runtime, plus a domain or temporary access URL.

2

Run deploy

Trigger the Appaloft deployment from the CLI or GitHub Action.

3

Check recovery

Read logs, health checks, and rollback candidates instead of making ad hoc server edits.
