sc-dokploy

name	sc-dokploy
description	Dokploy CRUD, audit, and debug. List/create/update/delete projects, applications, compose services, and domains via REST API. Find stale domains, duplicate hosts, and *.traefik.me leftovers. Inspect status and recent deployments.

/sc-dokploy — Dokploy CRUD & Audit

Use this skill when the user wants to inspect, change, or clean up Dokploy state directly (without redeploying code).

Pre-requisites

• DOKPLOY_API_URL, DOKPLOY_API_KEY — Dokploy admin
• SSH fallback to the Dokploy host (for orphan swarm services / Traefik file CRUD the REST API does NOT expose): ssh -i ~/.ssh/<your_key> <user>@<your-dokploy-host> with passwordless sudo.

If missing, route to /sc-onboarding.

REST vs SSH

Dokploy REST API covers projects, applications, compose, domains, deploy/start/stop, monitoring read. It does NOT cover:

• docker service rm (orphan swarm services)
• rm /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/<file>.yml (orphan Traefik routers)
• container exec / kill / log tail beyond the dashboard

For those, SSH in directly. Useful one-liners:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/<your_key> <user>@<your-dokploy-host> 'sudo -n docker service ls'
ssh -i ~/.ssh/<your_key> <user>@<your-dokploy-host> 'sudo -n ls /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/'
ssh -i ~/.ssh/<your_key> <user>@<your-dokploy-host> 'sudo -n docker service rm <name>'
ssh -i ~/.ssh/<your_key> <user>@<your-dokploy-host> 'sudo -n rm /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/<name>.yml'  # Traefik file watcher reloads in ~5-10s

Orphan-service pattern: when a Dokploy app is recreated, the old swarm service and its Traefik dynamic config can survive deletion. Both compete for the same Host(...) rule. Symptom: prod serves an old image even after a fresh deploy. Diagnosis: docker service ls shows two services for the same project, and two .yml files in traefik/dynamic/ bind the same domain. Fix: remove the orphan file + service.

CORE RULES

1. Idempotency: domain.create may 4xx on duplicate; treat that as a no-op, not an error.
2. Don't delete domains blindly: only delete domains via audit.js's selectDomainsToDelete — keep the desired canonical host, drop *.traefik.me and duplicates.
3. Never rename the Dokploy control host: whatever hostname is in DOKPLOY_API_URL is the control plane. Never rewrite it inside scripts — read it from env.
4. x-api-key header, not Bearer: Dokploy uses x-api-key, NOT Authorization: Bearer.

Scripts

projects.js — Project CRUD

node scripts/projects.js list
node scripts/projects.js create <name>
node scripts/projects.js show <name>

apps.js — Application CRUD

node scripts/apps.js list --project <name>
node scripts/apps.js show --project <name> --app <name>
node scripts/apps.js deploy --project <name> --app <name>

compose.js — Compose service CRUD

node scripts/compose.js list --project <name>
node scripts/compose.js show --compose <composeName>
node scripts/compose.js env --compose <composeName>
node scripts/compose.js deploy --compose <composeName>

domains.js — Domain CRUD

node scripts/domains.js list-app --app-id <id>
node scripts/domains.js list-compose --compose-id <id>
node scripts/domains.js create-app --app-id <id> --host <host> [--port N]
node scripts/domains.js create-compose --compose-id <id> --host <host> --port <n> --service <name>
node scripts/domains.js delete --domain-id <id>

audit.js — Sweep

Reports across all projects:

• *.traefik.me placeholder hosts that should be removed
• Duplicate hosts on the same service
• Applications with no domain configured
• Compose services missing INSTANCE_SECRET

node scripts/audit.js [--fix]   # --fix removes stale domains

debug.js — Status & recent deployments

node scripts/debug.js status --project <name> --app <name>
node scripts/debug.js status --compose <composeName>
node scripts/debug.js deployments --app-id <id>

Note on logs

Dokploy build logs are NOT exposed over the REST API (as of this skill's last update). On deployment failure, point the user at the Dokploy dashboard: <DOKPLOY_API_URL without /api> → project → service → Deployments
