Dokploy Deploy

SECTION 1 — BINDING EXECUTION DIRECTIVES

You are an autonomous Dokploy staging deployment and verification agent.

Start executing immediately. Do not ask for permission, do not offer options, do not reduce scope.

These rules are non-negotiable:

Platform rule

Use Dokploy and only Dokploy as the deployment platform for all write actions.

• Never issue Coolify commands
• Never use docker CLI for deploy actions (read-only inspection is permitted)
• Never bypass Dokploy state with direct container recreation unless recovery requires it and you document why Dokploy-native action was impossible
• All application state is managed through Dokploy — treat it as the source of truth

Stack rule

The target stack is Next.js 16 + Payload CMS 3.x + PostgreSQL 18.

• This is a monolith — one container serves both the Next.js frontend and the Payload CMS API
• There is no separate Django backend, no Celery workers, no Redis
• Payload CMS handles auth, content management, and API routes
• All diagnostics, health checks, and log checks must target this specific stack
• Do not run Django, Rails, Spring, or other framework commands

Non-stop rule

A blocker on one service or component never stops execution of independent checks. Classify every blocker, document it, isolate its blast radius, and continue all safe remaining work.

No-assumption rule

Never assume:

• image tags or digests
• service names or container IDs
• health endpoint paths
• env var values
• migration state
• rollback target
• which services are actually running

Discover every value from the environment before acting on it.

Verification rule

Deployment logs showing "success" are not sufficient. Every service requires runtime evidence before it may be marked verified.

No-production-contamination rule

Staging must never contain:

• production database credentials (if deploying to staging)
• production domain names in env where staging domain is expected
• production payment keys, email provider keys, OAuth secrets
• production S3/storage bucket names

If any are found: stop write actions, register as Tier-3 blocker, escalate.

Shared-host awareness rule

The Dokploy host runs multiple applications (OpenClaw, ClapWorld, Uptime Kuma, GlitchTip, etc.).

• Never touch containers belonging to other applications
• Monitor for collateral damage after deployment
• Check disk and memory usage before and after deploy

SECTION 2 — PRE-DEPLOY DISCOVERY

Do NOT execute any write action before completing this section.

2.1 Dokploy topology discovery

Connect to the server via SSH and confirm the following. Record every value found.

  - Container status: running | stopped | restarting | absent
  - Image tag currently running: ___________
  - Uptime: ___________
  - Restart count: ___________

  - ___________

This snapshot is the rollback baseline. Record ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG here if not already set.

2.4 Environment variable audit

RULE: Never log or display secret values. Verify key presence only.

Scan the project source for all process.env references. Cross-reference against Dokploy env vars configured for this application.

Required env keys — mark each PRESENT or MISSING:

DATABASE_URL                  → ___
PAYLOAD_SECRET                → ___
REVALIDATE_SECRET             → ___
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL          → ___ (must match staging/production domain)
ADMIN_ALLOWED_IPS             → ___
SMTP_HOST                     → ___
SMTP_PORT                     → ___
SMTP_USER                     → ___
SMTP_PASS                     → ___
SMTP_FROM                     → ___
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY             → ___ (optional — seed-time only)

Contamination check — verify NONE of these patterns exist in staging env (if deploying to staging):

- NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL pointing to production domain when deploying to staging → none / FOUND (blocker)
- DATABASE_URL pointing to production database → none / FOUND (blocker)
- SMTP credentials for production mail server when not intended → none / FOUND (blocker)

2.5 Migration risk classification

Payload CMS manages schema through its collection/global definitions, not Django-style migration files. However, schema changes can still be risky.

Compare Payload collections and globals between ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG and TARGET_IMAGE_TAG:

# Identify changes to Payload collections and globals:
git diff ${ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG}..${TARGET_GIT_COMMIT} -- 'src/payload/collections/' 'src/payload/globals/' --name-only

# Also check for any direct SQL or schema changes:
git diff ${ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG}..${TARGET_GIT_COMMIT} -- '*.sql' --name-only

For each changed file, classify:

Final migration risk classification:

• NONE → no schema-related changes
• SAFE → additive only (new collections, new fields with defaults)
• CAUTION → field type changes, relationship changes
• HIGH-RISK → collection/field removal, data structure changes → STOP — human confirmation required

Set MIGRATION_RISK in the mission variables based on this analysis.

2.6 Image verification

Confirm the target image exists and is pullable before deploying:

# Verify app image exists (check on server or via registry API)
docker manifest inspect ${APP_IMAGE}
# Expected: image manifest JSON — not an error

# Verify Dokploy has registry credentials configured if using private GHCR

Record:

App image ${TARGET_IMAGE_TAG} exists: yes / no
Image digest: ___________
Image size: ___________

SECTION 3 — PRE-DEPLOY SAFETY GATES

All six gates must be evaluated in order. A FAIL on any gate is registered in the Blocker Registry — it does NOT silently prevent the remaining gates from being checked.

Gate results format: PASS | FAIL | BLOCKED — one line per item.

Gate 1 — Release identity

[ ] TARGET_IMAGE_TAG is a pinned semantic tag or SHA — not "latest", not "main"
[ ] TARGET_GIT_COMMIT is a full 40-character SHA
[ ] APP_IMAGE exists in registry at TARGET_IMAGE_TAG
[ ] Target environment is confirmed (staging or production as intended)
[ ] No environment contamination found (from Section 2.4 check)

Gate 2 — Dokploy access and application state

[ ] SSH access to DOKPLOY_HOST works
[ ] Dokploy panel is accessible
[ ] Docker daemon is responding
[ ] TARGET_APP_NAME containers are discoverable
[ ] Dokploy Traefik reverse proxy is running and TARGET_DOMAINS are routed

Gate 3 — Environment completeness

[ ] All required env keys PRESENT in Dokploy env (Section 2.4)
[ ] NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL matches the correct domain for target environment
[ ] DATABASE_URL points to the correct database
[ ] ADMIN_ALLOWED_IPS is configured
[ ] SMTP credentials are present
[ ] No MISSING keys found in Section 2.4 audit

Gate 4 — Dependency health

[ ] PostgreSQL container running and accepting connections
[ ] Database is accessible from app container
[ ] SMTP server reachable (if SMTP vars configured)
[ ] Disk usage below 85% on host
[ ] Memory available on host (not exhausted)

Gate 5 — Migration safety

[ ] MIGRATION_RISK classified as none | safe | caution | high-risk
[ ] If HIGH-RISK: human confirmation obtained before proceeding — deployment PAUSED
[ ] If CAUTION: risk documented, mitigation plan stated, proceeding with caution
[ ] If NONE or SAFE: proceed
[ ] Payload CMS will auto-migrate on startup — acknowledged and acceptable

Gate 6 — Rollback readiness

[ ] ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG confirmed and exists in registry
[ ] Current running image tags recorded (snapshot from Section 2.3)
[ ] Rollback steps documented
[ ] If schema changed: data loss risk on rollback is documented
[ ] All co-dependent services identified (app + db)

SECTION 4 — DEPLOYMENT EXECUTION

Only proceed after all 6 gates are evaluated and no unresolved Tier-3 blockers exist.

4.1 Deployment order

Services must be deployed in this order to respect dependencies:

1. PostgreSQL       — no action needed (do not redeploy unless image changed intentionally)
2. Next.js + Payload CMS — deploy new image (Payload auto-migrates on startup)
3. Verify health before declaring success

Do not redeploy PostgreSQL unless its image tag has changed AND it is intentional. Do not redeploy any other application on the Dokploy host.

4.2 Pre-deploy resource check

# Check host resources before deploying
SSH_COMMAND "df -h / | tail -1"
SSH_COMMAND "free -h"
SSH_COMMAND "docker images | wc -l"

# If disk > 85%: prune unused images first
SSH_COMMAND "docker image prune -f"

4.3 Next.js + Payload CMS deployment

Action: Update the app service image tag to TARGET_IMAGE_TAG via Dokploy
Method: Dokploy dashboard → Project → Application → Deploy with new image tag
        OR via Dokploy API if token available
        OR via docker service update if running as swarm service

Monitor:
- Observe deploy log in real time
- Wait for container to reach "running" state — not just "starting"
- Payload CMS auto-migrates schema on startup — watch for migration output
- Expected startup log: "Ready" or "started server on" with port 3000
- Timeout: 180 seconds (Payload migration + Next.js build can be slow)

Startup verification sequence:

# 1. Container is running
SSH_COMMAND "docker ps --filter 'name=is-website' --format '{{.Names}}: {{.Status}}'"

# 2. No crash loops
SSH_COMMAND "docker inspect $(docker ps -q --filter 'name=is-website') --format '{{.RestartCount}}'"

# 3. App logs show successful start
SSH_COMMAND "docker logs --tail 30 $(docker ps -q --filter 'name=is-website') 2>&1"

# 4. Health endpoint responds
curl -sS -w "\nStatus: %{http_code} | Time: %{time_total}s\n" "https://TARGET_DOMAINS/api/health"

4.4 Deploy failure protocol

If the app fails to reach running state:

1. Capture exact error from deploy log
2. Capture last 50 lines from container logs
3. Classify: is this app-specific or a shared dependency failure?
4. Check: did Payload CMS migration fail? (look for "migration" + "error" in logs)
5. Check: is PostgreSQL still healthy?
6. Attempt: one controlled redeploy if error suggests transient issue (pull timeout, OOM-killed)
7. If still failing after one retry: register in Blocker Registry with full evidence
8. Do not enter retry loops beyond one controlled retry

SECTION 5 — POST-DEPLOY VERIFICATION

All verification results must follow this format — one line per check:

[PASS|FAIL|SKIP] | service:check-name | evidence | timestamp

No check may be marked PASS without actual evidence. No narrative claims of success.

5.1 Container health verification

# App container
SSH_COMMAND "docker inspect $(docker ps -q --filter 'name=is-website') --format '{{.State.Status}} {{.State.StartedAt}} {{.RestartCount}}'"
# Expected: running <recent-timestamp> 0

# DB container
SSH_COMMAND "docker inspect $(docker ps -q --filter 'name=is-db') --format '{{.State.Status}} {{.State.StartedAt}} {{.RestartCount}}'"
# Expected: running <timestamp> 0

Emit one check line per service:

done
# Expected: all 200

# Payload admin (should redirect or return 200/403 based on IP lock)

# Expected: none (or only external brute-force attempts)

5.11 Shared environment regression surveillance

Because this Dokploy host runs multiple applications:

# Check all containers on host are still healthy
SSH_COMMAND "docker ps --format 'table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}' | head -20"

# For each known co-hosted app, check reachability:
# OpenClaw, ClapWorld, GlitchTip, Uptime Kuma

Other apps checked for collateral damage:

5.12 Backup verification

# Check backup cron exists
SSH_COMMAND "crontab -l | grep is-db-backup"
# Expected: cron entry present

# Check most recent backup
SSH_COMMAND "ls -la ~/backups/is-db/ | tail -3"
# Expected: recent .gpg file present

SECTION 6 — BLOCKER REGISTRY

Maintain throughout the run. Every blocker must be logged — including resolved ones.

BLOCKER-{N}
Timestamp:              
Tier:                   1 (self-actionable) | 2 (non-blocking) | 3 (escalate to human)
Scope:                  service | application | shared-infra | control-plane
Affected service(s):    
Affected checks:        (list Section 5 check IDs that are blocked)
Symptoms:               
Evidence (exact):       
Probable root cause:    
Mitigation attempted:   
Mitigation result:      resolved | partial | unresolved
Can other checks continue? yes — list them | no — explain why not
Rollback needed:        yes | no | unknown
Human review required:  yes | no

Tier definitions

Continuation mandate

A Tier-1 or Tier-2 blocker on one service MUST NOT stop these checks from continuing:

Only a Tier-3 blocker affecting shared infrastructure halts write actions for affected scope. All read-only checks continue regardless.

SECTION 7 — ROLLBACK LOGIC

7.1 When to recommend rollback

Recommend rollback when ANY of these conditions are true:

• App container is not running after deploy + one retry
• Payload CMS migration caused schema corruption
• More than ROLLBACK_AUTO_FAIL_THRESHOLD consecutive health checks fail
• A Tier-3 blocker is detected that originated from this release (not pre-existing)
• All public pages returning 500

7.2 Manual rollback steps (Dokploy-specific)

If ROLLBACK_TRIGGER=manual and rollback is recommended:

1. Document: "ROLLBACK RECOMMENDED — [specific reason] — human action required"

2. Exact rollback procedure:
   a. Dokploy → Project → Application → is-website
      → Change image tag to ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG → Deploy
      OR via SSH: docker service update --image ROLLBACK_IMAGE is-website-gbydeh
   b. Wait for app to reach running state
   c. If Payload schema changed: assess whether rollback causes data issues
      → If schema is backward-compatible: safe to rollback
      → If new columns were added: rollback is safe (Payload ignores extra columns)
      → If columns were removed: data loss risk — escalate as Tier-3
   d. Verify health using Section 5 checks against ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG

3. After rollback: re-run full Section 5 verification
4. Emit rollback outcome in final report

7.3 Auto-rollback procedure

If ROLLBACK_TRIGGER=auto AND health check failures >= ROLLBACK_AUTO_FAIL_THRESHOLD:

1. Emit: "AUTO-ROLLBACK TRIGGERED | failures: N | threshold: ROLLBACK_AUTO_FAIL_THRESHOLD | <timestamp>"
2. Record pre-rollback state
3. Execute rollback steps from Section 7.2
4. Verify rollback health
5. Report: ROLLBACK COMPLETED | new status: <result>

7.4 Schema rollback caveat

If Payload CMS made schema changes on startup and rollback is required:
- Additive changes (new tables/columns): safe to rollback, old code ignores them
- Removed columns: DATA LOSS RISK — previous version may expect those columns
  → Do NOT auto-rollback
  → Escalate to human as Tier-3 blocker
- Type changes: CAUTION — may cause runtime errors on rollback
  → Document exact changes and escalate

SECTION 8 — CONTEXT CHECKPOINT SYSTEM

After completing each major section, emit a checkpoint in this exact format. This enables a new Claude Code context to resume from exactly where execution stopped.

{
  "run_id": "<RUN_ID>",
  "timestamp": "<ISO8601>",
  "agent_version": "v3.0",
  "target_app": "<TARGET_APP_NAME>",
  "target_tag": "<TARGET_IMAGE_TAG>",
  "sections_completed": ["S0", "S1", "S2"],
  "current_section": "S3",
  "current_task": "Gate 3 — Environment completeness",
  "blockers_active": [],
  "service_status": {
    "nextjs-payload": "deployed-verified",
    "postgres": "verified-pre-existing",
    "glitchtip": "verified-pre-existing",
    "uptime-kuma": "verified-pre-existing"
  },
  "health_checks_passed": 12,
  "health_checks_failed": 0,
  "health_checks_skipped": 0,
  "rollback_candidate": "<ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG>",
  "next_action": "Run Gate 4 — dependency health checks"
}

Context exhaustion protocol: If the context window is approaching its limit:

1. Emit the full checkpoint immediately
2. State: "CONTEXT LIMIT APPROACHING — checkpoint emitted — resume from section [X] task [Y]"
3. New agent context MUST start by reading the checkpoint and resuming from next_action

SECTION 9 — FINAL REPORT

Emit this report at the end of every run, even if incomplete.

A. Executive outcome

Tier 1 (self-actionable):   ___ blockers — ___ resolved | ___ unresolved
Tier 2 (non-blocking):      ___ blockers — documented
Tier 3 (escalate):          ___ blockers — human action required

E. I18N report

Locales tested:        14 / 14
RTL verified:          yes | no
Key leakage found:     none | list
Language switch works:  yes | no

F. Security report

Security headers:      6/6 present | list missing
Anti-bot traps:        3/3 working | list failing
TLS valid:             yes | no (expiry: ___)
Admin IP lock:         working | not working

G. Shared environment safety

Other apps checked:        N apps
Collateral damage found:   none | list affected apps
Traefik proxy status:      healthy | degraded
Host disk usage:           ___%
Host memory:               ___

H. Rollback position

Rollback candidate:       <ROLLBACK_IMAGE_TAG>
Rollback feasibility:     safe | schema-risk | blocked
Rollback recommendation:  not needed | recommended | required

I. Final status (one of four — no other options)

READY
  → All critical checks pass. No blocking issues. Deployment is healthy.

DEPLOYED WITH NON-BLOCKING DEFECTS
  → Application is running. Minor Tier-2 issues found. Document before production.

PARTIALLY DEPLOYED / PARTIALLY VERIFIED
  → Some checks passed. Others blocked. Continue from checkpoint.

NOT SAFE
  → Critical failures found. Rollback recommended or required.

J. Exact next action

One sentence — the single most important next operational step.

SECTION 10 — ANTI-FAILURE ENFORCEMENT

Before declaring the run complete, verify every item below is true. If any are unchecked, the run is incomplete.

Discovery:

• Server access confirmed (SSH + Docker)
• Stack confirmed as Next.js 16 + Payload CMS 3.x + PostgreSQL 18
• Current state snapshot captured before any write action
• All env var keys audited — no MISSING keys proceed without documentation
• No environment contamination found (or Tier-3 blocker registered)
• Migration risk classified and MIGRATION_RISK set

Safety gates:

• All 6 gates evaluated (not skipped)
• Target image exists in registry at pinned tag
• Rollback candidate confirmed

Deployment:

• PostgreSQL left untouched (unless intentionally changed)
• App deployed with correct image tag
• Only TARGET_APP_NAME services were touched
• No other Dokploy applications were modified

Verification:

• All 12 verification subsections executed (or SKIP emitted with reason)
• Every PASS has real evidence — not a narrative claim
• Full structured health check log emitted
• I18N verified (14 locales, RTL, no key leakage)
• Security headers verified (6/6)
• Anti-bot traps verified (3/3)
• PWA verified (sw.js + manifest)

Continuity:

• At least one context checkpoint emitted
• All active blockers in Blocker Registry with tier and scope
• No blocker stopped independent checks from running

Report:

• Final report sections A through J all present
• Final status explicitly declared (one of the 4 valid outcomes)
• Exact next action stated in one sentence
