Dokploy deployment and operations best practices. Use when the user deploys apps, databases, or Docker Compose stacks with Dokploy; configures domains, Traefik, Swarm health checks, CI/CD, backups, or webhooks; or troubleshoots Bad Gateway, 404, volume, database, or hardening issues.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dokploy Best Practices
Apply these rules when deploying or reviewing applications, databases, Docker Compose
stacks, domains, or infrastructure managed by Dokploy.
Dokploy is a self-hostable PaaS that orchestrates **Docker Swarm** behind a **Traefik**
reverse proxy, with a **PostgreSQL** + **Redis** control plane and a Next.js UI. Most
behaviors (zero downtime, rollbacks, domains) are thin wrappers over Swarm and Traefik
primitives — understanding both explains most pitfalls.
## Core mental model
- A **Service** is one app/database/compose stack. Services live in an
`Organization → Project → Environment → Service` hierarchy. Use Environments
(`production`, `staging`) for isolation; never mix prod and staging in one environment.
- **Variables cascade**: project → environment → service, each level overriding the last.
Put shared secrets at project level, stage-specific values at environment level.
Reference with `${{project.VAR}}`, `${{environment.VAR}}`, `${{VAR}}`.
- **Applications** route via Traefik **file provider** (hot-reload, no redeploy for domain
changes). **Docker Compose / templates** route via Traefik **labels** (redeploy required

How to install
mdr add firzus/agent-skills/dokploy-best-practices@sha256:896dc3817ab7d9acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.b16c457, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
