Image Deployments

Deploy pre-built Docker images directly — the simplest deployment method.

CLI Deployment

daoflow deploy \
  --service svc_my_app \
  --server srv_prod \
  --image ghcr.io/myorg/my-app:v1.2.3 \
  --yes

How It Works

1. DaoFlow pulls the image on the target server
2. Stops the existing container (if any)
3. Starts a new container with the pulled image
4. Monitors health and records the outcome

Image Sources

DaoFlow works with any Docker registry:

Registry	Example
Docker Hub	nginx:alpine
GitHub Container Registry	ghcr.io/org/app:latest
AWS ECR	123456.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/app:v1
Google Artifact Registry	us-docker.pkg.dev/project/repo/app:v1
Self-hosted	registry.example.com/app:v1

Pinning Versions

Always use specific tags in production instead of latest:

# Good — version pinned
daoflow deploy --service svc_my_app --image my-app:v1.2.3 --yes

# Avoid in production — mutable tag
daoflow deploy --service svc_my_app --image my-app:latest --yes

DaoFlow records the exact image digest for each deployment, so you can see precisely which image version was deployed even if tags are overwritten.
