Getting Started with ColoSoft PaaS

Deploy your web applications with a simple git push. ColoSoft PaaS supports Node.js, Python, PHP, and static sites.

Quick Start

1. Create an App

Go to Services > PaaS and click New App. Choose a template or start from scratch.

2. Connect Your Code

After creating your app, you'll get a git remote URL. Add it to your project:

git remote add dokku [email protected]:your-app-name

3. Deploy

Push your code to deploy:

git push dokku main

Your app will be automatically built and deployed. You can watch the build logs in real-time from the GitHub tab.

4. Using Templates

If you chose a template during creation, your app is already deployed with starter code. You can clone it and start modifying.

What Happens During Deploy

1. Your code is received by the build system
2. The language/framework is auto-detected (or read from your Procfile)
3. Dependencies are installed
4. Your app is built and started
5. Health checks verify the app is responding
6. Traffic is routed to the new version (zero-downtime)
