Changelog

v0.1.0 (Beta)

Initial release.

Build Pipelines

• Hybrid Build (default) — Local Next.js compilation + remote Docker image creation. Best for speed and low server RAM usage.
• Remote Build (fallback) — Full build on server if hybrid is unsupported.
• Local Build (manual) — Build Docker image entirely on your machine.
• Clean/Dirty Source — Deploy from git commit (default) or working directory (--dirty).

Deployment

• Blue/Green Deployment — Zero-downtime container swap.
• Isolated Containers — Each project runs in its own Docker container.
• Rollbacks — Restore previous deployments with exodus rollback.

Multi-Project & Multi-Server

• Multiple Projects per VPS — Run independent projects on one server, each with its own domain, container, and secrets.
• Multiple VPSs per Project — Deploy same project to different servers (e.g., production + staging).

Secrets Management

• Server-side Secrets — Secure, isolated env variables stored on the server.
• Auto-injection — Secrets injected at build time and runtime.
• Push/Pull Sync — Sync secrets between local .env files and server.

Networking & SSL

• Auto Proxy — Caddy auto-configured to route traffic to correct project.
• Auto SSL — Let's Encrypt certificates via Caddy.

Known Issue

If you deploy before DNS records propagate, SSL provisioning may fail. Redeploy after DNS is configured.

Server Provisioning

• Ubuntu Support — Automated setup for Ubuntu 22.04+ servers.
• Security Hardening — UFW firewall + Fail2Ban auto-configured.
• Swap File — 2GB swap created to prevent OOM on 1GB VPS.
• Docker + Caddy — Installed and configured automatically.

Authentication

• SSH Password — Direct password authentication.
• SSH Key — Private key file authentication.
• SSH Agent — Use system SSH agent.
