1DevTool Handoff

Receive deployment bundles from the 1DevTool desktop app over a deep link. Server Compass picks the right deploy lane (compose, GitHub repo, or local upload) automatically, pre-fills project name, compose YAML, Dockerfile, env vars, and Git remote, and labels the wizard with `Source: 1DevTool` so the handoff is obvious.

Manual Alternative to 1DevTool Handoff

Without 1DevTool Handoff, you'd need to SSH into your server and run these commands manually. Every. Single. Time.

1

SSH into your server

First, open your terminal and connect to your VPS.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
2

Clone your repository

Navigate to your apps directory and clone the repo.

terminal
cd /opt/apps
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
cd your-repo
3

Create environment file

Manually create and configure your .env file.

terminal
nano .env
# Add all your environment variables one by one
# DATABASE_URL=...
# API_KEY=...
# SECRET_KEY=...

One wrong character and your app won't start. No validation, no hints.

4

Build the Docker image

Build your application image from the Dockerfile.

terminal
docker build -t myapp:latest .
# Wait 5-15 minutes...
# Hope there are no build errors...
5

Write docker-compose.yml

terminal
nano docker-compose.yml
# services:
#   app:
#     image: myapp:latest
#     ports:
#       - "3000:3000"
#     environment:
#       - NODE_ENV=production
#     restart: unless-stopped
6

Deploy the container

Start the container and pray it works.
