The Terminal Way: No Deployment History
Without Deployment History, you're back to the dark ages of server management. Here's what that looks like.
SSH into your server
Connect to your server via terminal.
ssh root@your-server-ipList all containers
See what's running (and what's crashed).
docker ps -a
# Good luck remembering which container is which
# CONTAINER ID IMAGE STATUS
# a1b2c3d4e5f6 myapp:v1.2.3 Up 2 days
# f6e5d4c3b2a1 myapp:v1.2.2 Exited (1) 3 days agoCheck container logs
Dig through logs to find errors.
docker logs container_name --tail 500
# Scroll through 500 lines of unformatted text
# grep for errors manuallyNo syntax highlighting, no search, no filtering.
Restart a container
Stop and start the container manually.
docker compose stop app
docker compose start app
# Or the nuclear option:
docker compose down && docker compose up -dRollback to previous version
Hope you tagged your images properly.
# First, find the old image
docker images | grep myapp
# Edit docker-compose.yml to use old tag
nano docker-compose.yml
# Change image: myapp:latest to myapp:v1.2.2
docker compose up -dIf you didn't tag versions... good luck.
