Introduction
Requirements
QuickDeploy deploys your app to a server you operate. Use this checklist to decide whether it fits your setup before purchasing a license.
Compatibility at a glance
| What you need | Check before buying |
|---|---|
| Your computer | macOS, Linux, or Windows with an SSH client. Download the binary for your operating system and CPU architecture. |
| Target server | An Ubuntu-based VPS with Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed. |
| Server access | SSH key authentication and a server user allowed to run Docker. |
| Your app | A working production build and start command. Custom build/runtime settings can go in nixpacks.toml. |
| Public web app | A domain pointing to the VPS, with ports 80 and 443 available for Caddy. |
| QuickDeploy license | A €15 one-time license is required to configure and deploy. Hosting and domain costs are separate. |
If another reverse proxy already uses ports 80/443, review the deployment setup before proceeding. QuickDeploy manages a shared Caddy container; use a separate test server when existing services must remain untouched.
Internal backend services can run without a public domain. For multiple services, use a shared project name and a distinct container name for each service. See the commands and examples.
Check your app
- Next.js recipe: a Node server, static assets, HTTPS, and update checks.
- SvelteKit recipe: adapter-node, public origin configuration, and form actions.
- PostgreSQL guide: a full-stack example with migrations and persistent database storage.
- Custom runtime configuration: specify build and start commands when the defaults do not fit.
These examples help you evaluate a specific setup; they do not establish compatibility with every framework version or custom application. Sample verification details and limits are stated in each guide.
What you continue to manage
You manage the VPS, DNS, server access, application health, monitoring, backups, and database migrations. QuickDeploy automates the app deployment steps. Its update check watches the container process; verify the public application after a release.
Your next step
Download the CLI and check its version without connecting to a server or entering a license. This checks the local binary; it is not a deployment trial.
If your setup fits, get the QuickDeploy license for €15. If you are unsure, ask about your setup with your framework, server OS, and database.
