What does the dropletify skill do?

It automates the configuration of Docker and GitHub Actions to deploy your code directly to a DigitalOcean droplet with minimal manual setup.

What are the requirements for using this skill?

You need a DigitalOcean account with an active droplet and your project hosted on GitHub to take advantage of the CI/CD and deployment features.

Does it handle Docker configuration automatically?

Yes, it can detect your project's runtime and generate optimized Dockerfiles or evaluate and improve your existing Docker configurations.

How does the automatic rollback feature work?

The skill installs a script on your droplet that tracks the last successful image tag; if a new deployment fails to start, it automatically reverts to the previous working version.

Does this skill help with server maintenance?

Yes, it configures a daily cron job that runs a cleanup script to prune old images and unused Docker resources, preventing your droplet's disk from filling up.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the containerization and deployment of projects to DigitalOcean droplets using GitHub Actions and Docker.

About

The dropletify skill streamlines the process of moving projects from development to production on DigitalOcean infrastructure. It automatically assesses project requirements to generate optimized Docker configurations, sets up robust GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD, and implements essential production utilities including automated resource cleanup and fail-safe rollback mechanisms. By handling complex deployment logic, it ensures that your application is not only deployed but also maintained and secured according to DevOps best practices.

Key Features

Implements automatic daily Docker resource cleanup via cron jobs to save disk space.
Includes fail-safe automatic rollback logic to restore previous working versions on failure.
Configures secure production environments with automated .env management and non-root users.
Automated project containerization with optimized multi-stage Docker builds.
Generates complete GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows specifically for DigitalOcean.
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Adding automated maintenance and health-check scripts to an existing production server.
Deploying a new web application to a DigitalOcean droplet with fully automated CI/CD.
Standardizing deployment pipelines across multiple projects using Docker and GitHub Actions.
