Introduction

Let’s say you build a Docker image for your application using a CI/CD pipeline and upload the image to a Docker registry. But how do you update the running containers on your servers with the new image? You can use Docker Deploy API to do that.

Features

Pull new image and recreate container, or only recreate or restart a container
Update multiple containers at once 🔄️
Clean up old images 🧹
Works with private Docker registries 🔒
No need to give your CI/CD pipeline SSH access to your servers 🛡️
Works without any database
Support for nearly any CI/CD pipeline, e.g. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.

How it works

Docker Deploy API is a HTTP API that you can call from your CI/CD pipeline. The request contains a deploy token that you can generate using the CLI tool. This token is used to authenticate the request and contains the configuration for the deployment. For convenience, there is a bash script that you can use in your CI/CD pipeline for sending the request.
