New release 1.43 - Browser SSH Console

In this release, we focused on making deployments and server management easier. We added a browser-based SSH console, predefined environment variables, and improvements to our AI chat experience. We also improved Next.js builds, log handling, Postgres support, and overall platform reliability.

New release 1.43 - Browser SSH Console

You can now open a full terminal to your server right inside DollarDeploy — no SSH client, no key juggling, no switching your tab from DollarDeploy.

✨ What's New

Browser SSH Console

Connect to your servers directly from the dashboard without opening a separate SSH client. Click Console to open it.

SSH console to Verda server

Improved launch flow from a template

We improved progress terminal & deploy view when you launch new app from a template, showing you classic console view of the deployment process.

AI chat on the Dashboard

Directly access AI chat from the dashboard to deploy new app or solve a problem. All chats still gets recorded in AI Agent view.

Predefined Environment Variables

On App => Edit view, we now show all predefined variables (coming from DollarDeploy, services and host), making app configuration easier. You can reference these variables using ${ENV} syntax. Read more here.
