Deployments & App Management

Creating apps on the host

  • Pick the hostname and add it to your DNS provider panel (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy, AWS Route 53, etc.) so it points to your server IP address. 
  • Add the host to Dollar Deploy and ensure Dollar Deploy can connect to the server by clicking the Test button. Enter the hostname(s) you created.
  • Select what kind of services you want to run on the server. We support the following:
    • PostgreSQL
    • Redis
    • Docker & Docker Compose
    • (optional) Docker Deploy Agent to report back host health status, metrics, and logs
  • Press Prepare to automatically install updates on the server, start reverse proxy, and install all the required services on the host.
  • Add the app on Dollar Deploy and select the created host and hostname from that host.
  • One hostname == one app. If you want to install multiple apps on one server, create more hostnames and add them to the server.
