What's Changed
New Features
14- Point a domain at your app without replacing Nginx or Caddy — Add Domain now works on servers where your own reverse proxy already owns ports 80 and 443, instead of stopping at a dead end
- See every site on the server before anything is written — Server Compass reads the complete proxy setup and shows you the sites it found; your existing sites are never touched, moved, or replaced
- Review the exact changes before they happen — every domain is planned first, the full configuration is checked, and the proxy only reloads once that check passes
- If the reload fails, the previous configuration is put back automatically
- After the reload, the live address is tested against the server, so a domain only shows as working when it really answers
- Free HTTPS on your existing setup — get a Let's Encrypt certificate through Certbot on Nginx, or let Caddy provision and renew HTTPS on its own
- If Certbot isn't installed, you're asked before anything is installed, and declining just keeps the domain on HTTP
- Certbot is used in a way that never rewrites the configuration Server Compass manages
- Straight answers on setups that can't be changed automatically — Apache, OpenLiteSpeed, CloudPanel, Plesk, and Docker-based Caddy are recognized and explained instead of failing quietly, and you can still save the domain as a reference without touching the server
- Wildcard domains are refused clearly instead of appearing to work and then failing
- Deploy a public repository without forking it — paste a public HTTPS Git URL from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or another compatible Git host, choose a branch, and deploy without connecting an account
- Pull the latest code on every redeploy — redeploy from the newest commit on your chosen branch, including zero-downtime redeploys, rollbacks, preview environments, backups, and server transfers
- Public repositories stay read-only — Server Compass never commits deployment files back to a public repository; your Dockerfile edits are kept on your server instead
- Connected GitHub is unchanged and comes first — private repositories and GitHub Actions builds still work exactly as before, and Connected GitHub is now the first choice in the wizard
Improvements
12- All your domains in a single list — routes, certificates, and the proxy serving each one, whether that's Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, or CloudPanel, with the provider shown next to each domain
- CloudPanel sites sit beside everything else — no more separate tab to check
- Search across everything — find a domain by name, by the app behind it, by port, or by which proxy serves it
- Repair a domain in one click — if a route drifts out of sync, re-apply and re-verify it from the domain list; domains that were already on the server before Server Compass stay read-only so nothing of yours gets rewritten
- Domains keep working after a redeploy — when an app is rebuilt or restarted on your own proxy, its domain is pointed back at the new containers automatically
- Rollbacks and restores bring routing with them — falling back to a previous version or restoring a snapshot no longer leaves a domain pointing at something that isn't there
- Decide what happens to a domain when you stop or delete an app — you're shown each affected domain and can remove or keep its configuration, with a sensible choice preselected
- Force Stop leaves routes untouched and tells you so, instead of changing them behind your back
- A deployment that starts containers but can't finish a domain says so — you now get "containers deployed, but one or more domain routes need repair" with the details in the log, instead of a plain success
- Server migration describes what will really happen to your domains — the preflight now tells you whether domains will be set up through the target's existing proxy, reported as a named failure, or copied for reference only
- Groups stay visible without a restart — your groups now stay correct while you navigate, refresh, or switch servers
- App actions stay reachable — wide tables scroll inside their card and shorten long values, so the actions menu is always where you expect it and always opens on screen
Bug Fixes
9- Fixed certificate private keys being kept in the local command history — any stored copies are erased on the next launch, including from the pre-update backup, and new command logs never record them
- Fixed domains breaking after a redeploy on servers running their own proxy — the route is re-applied and re-verified instead of being left pointing at the old container
- Fixed stopping or deleting an app leaving its domain live — an app that's gone no longer leaves a domain silently serving nothing
- Fixed Server Compass installing Traefik during a server migration on a target that already runs its own proxy — the same safety check used everywhere else now applies to imported domains
- Fixed transferred domains being set up with the wrong port — the app's real container port is resolved on the target server instead of copying the old number
- Fixed zero-downtime redeploys quietly losing trusted-proxy settings
- Fixed the same server being added twice under two entries — duplicate connections are now detected and reported instead of splitting an app's history in half
- Fixed healthy Cloudflare tunnels appearing down when the local check disagreed with Cloudflare's own status
- Fixed Tunnel Re-check spinning forever — checks now finish, deduplicate, and always return the button to normal
