Deploys websites and tools as named deployments on an always-on Amp Box with `amp boxes deploy`, manages their secrets, sets a Box's daily run schedule and starts or stops it to save costs, renames a Box, shows its projected monthly cost, starts threads on a deployment's live release, and makes a deployment private to the Box's owner or workspace, and adds Sign in with Amp to an app, with a bundled SvelteKit starter. Use for first deploys, redeploys, adding another app to a Box, creating…
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
# Deploying to Boxes A Box is an always-on Google Compute Engine machine owned by a user or a workspace. It runs one Amp runner and hosts several independently deployed apps, called deployments. Each deployment has its own repository, branch, port, secrets, data directory, and URL, `https://<deployment>--<namespace>.onamp.dev`. A router on the Box listens on port 8080 and sends each URL to its deployment's port. A Box selector is `<namespace>/<box>`. The namespace picks the owner: the user's Amp username for a personal Box, or the name of a workspace the user belongs to for a workspace Box. `get_current_user_identity` returns the Amp username as `ampUsername`; never use a GitHub login instead. A user without an Amp username cannot create a personal Box until they have one: offer to choose one with the `manage_amp` settings key `username` (the user approves the name in a dialog, and it cannot be changed by an agent afterwards), or offer a workspace Box when they belong to a workspace that has Boxes. Choose the deployment name separately with `--name`. Deployment names share the owner's URL namespace, so a deployment name must not match any of the owner's Box names or a deployment …

How to install
mdr add ampcode/official-plugins/deploying-boxes@sha256:c670792511e5ca0bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.7e6fddc, 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.
