How DollarDeploy works

Connect a GitHub repo, pick a server, and ship. DollarDeploy does the rest.

How it works:

  1. Connect a GitHub repo.
  2. Pick a server: bring your own over SSH, or provision one through a supported provider.
  3. Build and run: DollarDeploy prepares the server, builds your app, and runs it as a native systemd service (or Docker Compose if you choose).
  4. Expose it: DollarDeploy configures the reverse proxy and issues HTTPS via Let's Encrypt.
  5. Keep it shipping: every push triggers a deploy; rollback is one action.
  6. Operate it: monitoring and 30-day logs are included on every plan; manual backups are included and scheduled backups are on paid plans.

The big picture: no Kubernetes and no required container layer. Native systemd removes overhead. Docker is there when an app needs it.

The bottom line: give DollarDeploy a $5-$20 server, and deploying to it feels like a modern PaaS.

Go deeper: 3 steps to deploy an app.
