FAQ

Do I need to know Linux, nginx, or systemd? No. DotDeployer configures all of it. You point at a GitHub repo and a DigitalOcean account.

What happens to my server if I cancel DotDeployer? Nothing. It’s your droplet, in your DigitalOcean account, billed by DigitalOcean. Cancelling DotDeployer stops us managing it; the server and everything on it keep running.

Is there an agent installed on my server? No. DotDeployer connects over SSH with a key pair it generates for your server. There’s nothing to uninstall if you move on.

Can I deploy more than one site to a server? Yes — sites are unlimited on every plan. Server count is the only thing plans meter.

What if a deploy fails halfway through? The previous release is still live under current on the server; a failed deploy doesn’t take your site down, and you can roll back to any earlier release in one click.
