First Deployment

After completing the initial setup, you can deploy your first container stack. This guide walks you through the process step by step.

Prerequisites

• ReadyStackGo is installed and running
• Setup wizard has been completed
• At least one environment is configured

---

Step 1: Add Stack Source

Stack sources define where ReadyStackGo finds your stack definitions (docker-compose files).

1. Navigate to Stack Sources in the sidebar
2. Click Add Stack Source
3. Choose a source type:
   • Git Repository - For stacks stored in Git
   • Local Path - For local stack definitions

Example: Git Repository

Repository URL: https://github.com/your-org/stacks.git
Branch: main
Path: /stacks

Step 2: Browse Available Stacks

After adding a stack source:

1. Navigate to Stacks in the sidebar
2. You’ll see all available stacks from your sources
3. Click on a stack to view details

---

Step 3: Deploy a Stack

1. Select the stack you want to deploy
2. Choose the target Environment
3. Review the configuration
4. Click Deploy

ReadyStackGo will:

• Pull required images
• Create the network
• Start all containers
• Monitor the deployment

---

Step 4: Monitor Deployment

After deployment:

1. The stack appears in your Deployments list
2. View container status in real-time
3. Access logs for troubleshooting
4. Manage individual containers

Example Stack

Here’s a simple example stack you can use for testing:

docker-compose.yml

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    restart: unless-stopped
