Deployments

DaoFlow supports three deployment sources: Docker Compose, Dockerfile, and pre-built images. All deployments create immutable records with full context for auditability and rollback.

Deployment Sources

Source	Best For	Input
Compose	Multi-service apps	compose.yaml file
Dockerfile	Build from source	Git repo + Dockerfile
Image	Pre-built containers	Docker image reference

Deployment Lifecycle

Every deployment follows the same lifecycle regardless of source:

queued → prepare → deploy → finalize → completed/failed

See Core Concepts: Deployments for the full lifecycle model.

Key Features

• Immutable records — every deployment preserves input, config, actor, and outcome
• Structured steps — each phase has its own status and timing
• Rollback support — target any previous successful deployment
• Dry-run preview — see what would happen without executing
• Idempotency keys — prevent duplicate deployments
• Raw + structured logs — both stdout/stderr and parsed event timeline
