CI/CD

draft

Run nextdeploy from your CI of choice. Single binary, no Node, no Docker required. Use nextdeploy generate-ci to scaffold a working GitHub Actions workflow.

Source reference: cli/cmd/generate_ci.go

nextdeploy generate-ci

TODO creates .github/workflows/deploy.yml — what it includes (install, creds, build, deploy).

Required CI secrets

TODO AWS keys (serverless) or SSH key (VPS), NextDeploy signing key.

Caching the CLI binary

TODO fast install — cache the binary, skip re-download per run.

Branch → environment mapping

TODO patterns — main → prod, staging → staging, PR → preview (manual today).

Idempotent re-runs

TODO safe to retry; reconciliation is idempotent on serverless, atomic on VPS.

GitLab CI / CircleCI / others

TODO equivalent step list (no scaffolder yet — patterns to copy).

Self-hosted runners with sudo

TODO when SSH user needs sudo for prepare / upgrade-daemon.

Post-deploy smoke tests

TODO pattern — hit /health after ship, fail the job on bad status.
