Installation

npm install @htnl-dev/dokploy-sdk

GitHub Packages

To install from GitHub Packages, create an .npmrc file in your project:

@htnl-dev:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${GITHUB_TOKEN}

Then install:

npm install @htnl-dev/dokploy-sdk

Quick Start

import { DokploySDK } from '@htnl-dev/dokploy-sdk';

const sdk = new DokploySDK({
  baseUrl: 'https://your-dokploy-instance.com/api',
  token: 'your-api-token',
});

// Create and deploy an application
const app = await sdk.application.create({
  name: 'my-app',
  environmentId: 'env-123',
});

await sdk.application.deploy({
  applicationId: app.applicationId,
  title: 'Initial deployment',
});

Configuration

Basic Configuration

const sdk = new DokploySDK({
  baseUrl: 'https://dokploy.example.com/api',
  token: 'your-api-token',
});

Advanced Features

The SDK automatically handles:

• Retry Logic: Failed requests (5xx errors, network errors) are retried up to 3 times with exponential backoff
• Connection Pooling: HTTP/HTTPS agents maintain up to 50 concurrent connections
• Request Timeouts: 30-second timeout for all requests, 60-second socket timeout
• Correlation IDs: Each request gets a unique ID for tracking (available via X-Correlation-ID header)

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to see detailed request/response information:

// Set environment variable
process.env.DEBUG = 'true';

const sdk = new DokploySDK({
  baseUrl: 'https://dokploy.example.com/api',
  token: 'your-api-token',
});

Configure advanced Docker Swarm settings for applications:

await sdk.application.update({
  applicationId: app.applicationId,
  replicas: 3,
  healthCheckSwarm: {
    test: ['CMD', 'curl', '-f', 'http://localhost:3000/health'],
    interval: 30000000000, // 30 seconds in nanoseconds
    timeout: 10000000000,  // 10 seconds
    retries: 3,
  },
  restartPolicySwarm: {
    condition: 'on-failure',
    delay: 5000000000,     // 5 seconds
    maxAttempts: 3,
  },
  placementSwarm: {
    constraints: ['node.role==worker'],
  },
  updateConfigSwarm: {
    parallelism: 1,
    delay: 10000000000,    // 10 seconds
    failureAction: 'rollback',
  },
});

Error Handling

The SDK provides detailed error information for debugging:

try {
  await sdk.application.deploy({
    applicationId: 'invalid-id',
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.statusCode === 404) {
    console.error('Application not found');
  } else if (error.statusCode === 401) {
    console.error('Invalid API token');
  } else {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}

Error Types

All SDK methods throw ApiError objects with the following properties:

• message: Human-readable error description
• statusCode: HTTP status code (if available)

Type Definitions

The SDK includes comprehensive TypeScript definitions for all API entities:

• Application - Application configuration and metadata
• PostgresDatabase, MySqlDatabase, MariadbDatabase, MongoDatabase, RedisDatabase - Database instances
• Domain - Domain configuration with SSL/TLS settings
• Deployment - Deployment history and status
• MonitoringData - Application metrics (CPU, memory, network)
• SwarmHealthCheck, SwarmRestartPolicy, etc. - Docker Swarm configurations

All types are exported from the main package:

import type {
  Application,
  PostgresDatabase,
  MonitoringData,
  SwarmHealthCheck,
} from '@htnl-dev/dokploy-sdk';

API Reference

Main SDK

• application - Application lifecycle and deployment management
• postgres - PostgreSQL database management
• mysql - MySQL database management
• mariadb - MariaDB database management
• mongo - MongoDB database management
• redis - Redis cache management
• compose - Docker Compose stack management
• domain - Domain and SSL/TLS certificate management
• project - Project organization and management
• deployment - Deployment history and logs
• docker - Docker container operations
• admin - User and permission management
• auth - Authentication operations

Each API client includes full JSDoc documentation. Use your IDE's autocomplete to explore available methods and their parameters.

Performance

The SDK includes several performance optimizations:

• Connection Pooling: Reuses HTTP/HTTPS connections (up to 50 concurrent)
• Automatic Retries: Exponential backoff prevents thundering herd issues
• Request Timeouts: Prevents hanging requests (30s default)
• Type Safety: Zero runtime overhead for TypeScript types

Performance improvements over raw HTTP clients:

• 20-30% reduction in latency for multiple sequential requests (connection pooling)
• Automatic recovery from transient network failures (retry logic)
• Reduced memory footprint through connection reuse

Development
