Introduction

What is LoomDeploy?

LoomDeploy is an open-source, self-hosted deployment platform — similar to Coolify or Dokku — that turns your VPS into a personal cloud. You get the power of a PaaS without the monthly bills or vendor lock-in.

How it works

1. Install LoomDeploy on your VPS with one curl command.
2. Connect a Git repository from your dashboard.
3. Deploy — LoomDeploy auto-detects your framework, builds a Docker image, starts the container, and configures HTTPS automatically.
4. Push to redeploy — every git push to your configured branch triggers a new build and deployment via webhook.

Key features

• Auto-detect frameworks — Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Java and more. No Dockerfile required.
• Automatic HTTPS — Traefik + Let's Encrypt provision and renew SSL certificates automatically.
• Live build logs — Watch your build stream in real time over SSE.
• One-click rollback — Every deployment is saved. Restore any version instantly.
• Health monitoring — Automatic container restart after 3 consecutive health-check failures.
• GitHub App integration — Connect repositories with one click, no personal access tokens.
• Environment variables — Manage per-project env vars securely from the dashboard.
• Multi-user roles — Admin, Developer, and Viewer roles with team management.

Prerequisites

Before installing LoomDeploy you need:

• A Linux VPS (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended) with at least 1 CPU / 1 GB RAM
• A domain name pointed at your VPS IP address
• Root or sudo access via SSH
• Ports 80 and 443 open in your firewall
