What DROPSTACK is?

DROPSTACK CLI takes any of your Docker-, NodeJS- or static Web-Sites/Services to the DROPSTACK-Server with ease, speed and reliability. In practical terms, any directory that contains a package.json or Dockerfile can be transported to the DROPSTACK-Server with the single CLI command: dropstack.

First time you deploy your project, dropstack will provide you with a unique project specific URL (e.g. erkgfjtrna.domain.local). When it's time to take your deployment to production, you simply pick an appropriate alias (a custom domain).

Get Started

Let's demonstrate how easy deploying a project with dropstack actually is:

Step 1 Install dropstack globally with npm install -g dropstack-cli

Step 2 Create a new directory and switch to it:

mkdir my-webapp
cd my-webapp

Step 3 Write the app configuration into a package.json file...

npm init

Step 4 Run dropstack to deploy. Every time you run dropstack in the same folder, you make an updated redeploy. You might see files uploading, and then we show you the progress of the commands executed for deploying your application.

dropstack deploy

The first time you run dropstack, it'll ask for your email address in order to identify you. Simply click on the email you've received, and you'll be logged in automatically.
