CLI missing compose, mount, and domain commands — deploy without GitHub? #33
Description
Context
I'm building an AI agent skill that wraps the Dokploy CLI to deploy apps. The idea: the agent scaffolds a Vue SPA + PocketBase app, then deploys it to Dokploy — all without needing a GitHub repo.
The Dokploy web UI and tRPC API support this workflow perfectly via sourceType: "raw" composes + file mounts. But the CLI is missing the commands to do it.
What's missing from the CLI
| Operation | Web UI / API | CLI |
|---|---|---|
| Create compose | compose.create |
Missing |
| Update compose YAML | compose.update (sourceType: "raw") |
Missing |
| Deploy compose | compose.deploy |
Missing |
| Create file mounts | mounts.create |
Missing |
| Create domains | domain.create |
Missing |
The CLI currently covers projects, apps, databases, and env vars — but not the compose/mount/domain lifecycle.
Why this matters
Right now, deploying a raw compose (no GitHub) requires falling back to curl with tRPC endpoints. This works, but:
- The CLI has
--helpand discoverability — agents (and humans) can explore capabilities curlwith tRPC is fragile and undocumented- The compose + mount + domain flow is the most common deployment pattern for self-hosted apps
What I'd love to see
dokploy compose:create --name "my-app" --project-uuid $PROJECT_UUID --environment-uuid $ENV_UUID
dokploy compose:update --compose-uuid $ID --source-type raw --file docker-compose.yml
dokploy compose:deploy --compose-uuid $ID
dokploy mount:create --compose-uuid $ID --type file --file-path "index.html" --content "..."
dokploy domain:create --compose-uuid $ID --host "app.example.com" --port 8080 --https --letsencryptHappy to contribute
If this direction makes sense, I'd be glad to submit a PR adding these commands. The tRPC endpoints already exist — the CLI just needs to wrap them.
