ReDeploy Docker Application

A lightweight, self-hosted Docker tool to deploy Git-hosted sites locally. Clone, build, and deploy Hugo, Go, or Node.js sites with custom commands, branch selection, and private repo access. Detect changes and auto-redeploy — a flexible alternative to SaaS tools like Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages.

Features

🚀 Easy deployment of Hugo sites in Docker containers
🔒 Support for both public and private Git repositories
🛠 Custom build commands (npm, Hugo, etc.)
🌐 Automatic network binding for container access
🔄 Flexible command execution with proper error handling
🔄 Automatic pulling of the latest changes from the repository

Prerequisites

Docker
Docker Compose
Git (for building from source)

Quick Start

Using Docker Compose

Create a docker-compose.yml file:

services:
  redeploy:
    image: ghcr.io/pik4li/redeploy:latest
    ports:
      - "1313:1313"
    env_file:
      - .env

Create/Edit the .env file (available variables):

# required
REPO=https://github.com/your/hugo/repo # leading https:// is not required!

# optional
BRANCH=main # Optional: for branch selection
GIT_TOKEN="your_github_token" # Optional: for private repositories
COMMAND="npm install && npm run dev" # Optional: custom build command
CHECK_INTERVAL=300 # Optional: interval in seconds to check for updates

Run the container:

docker compose up

Access the site at http://localhost:1313 or http://localhost:8080 (if you have a different port)
If you have a reverseproxy already running, you can point it to the container's port to have a local cloudflare pages like experience with automatic redeployment.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description	Example	Default value
REPO	Yes	URL of the Git repository	`https://github.com/user/repo`	-
BRANCH	No	The branch to use for cloning the site	`main`	main
GIT_TOKEN	No	Authentication token for private repositories	`ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx`	-
COMMAND	No	Custom build/run command	`npm install && npm run dev`	`hugo server -D --noHTTPCache --disableFastRender`
CHECK_INTERVAL	No	Interval in seconds to check for updates	`300`	300

Custom Commands

The application supports various custom commands that will automatically be configured for proper network binding:

Command Examples

npm install && npm run dev
hugo server -D
hugo server
hugo server -D

Docker Compose Examples

Basic Example with .env file

services:
  redeploy:
    image: ghcr.io/pik4li/redeploy:latest
    ports:
      - "1313:1313"
    env_file:
      - .env

Important

The .env file is required for the container to work. You can find the proper variables in the Environment Variables section.

Example without .env file

services:
  redeploy:
    image: ghcr.io/pik4li/redeploy:latest
    ports:
      - "1313:1313"
    environment:
      - REPO="https://github.com/your/hugo/repo"
      - GIT_TOKEN="your_github_token"
      - COMMAND="npm install && npm run dev"
      - CHECK_INTERVAL="10"
