podlift

Simple, transparent deployment for containerized applications.

podlift deploys your Docker containers to any server with SSH access. No black boxes, no magic, no broken promises.

Why podlift?

• Transparent — see exactly what commands run on your servers. No custom infrastructure, just standard Docker + nginx.

• Reliable — validate everything before deployment. Clear errors with actionable solutions.

• Non-interactive — every command works in CI/CD. No prompts, no waiting for input.

• Zero-downtime — deploy new versions without dropping requests. Roll back instantly if needed.

• Git-native — every deployment maps to a commit. Always know what’s running in production.

Quick start

Edit podlift.yml to point at your server, domain, and image, then deploy. Every command is standard Docker and nginx under the hood — nothing you can’t inspect or reproduce by hand.
