deploy controller
A tiny deploy controller for Docker Compose and native systemd apps. One static Go binary. Health-gated deploys, automatic rollback, and you understand every layer.
$ zook deploy saas-staging v1.4.2
→ pulling image...
→ health check passed (3/3)
→ committed saas-staging@v1.4.2
$ zook status
stack version health
saas-staging v1.4.2 ● healthy
$ ▋Deploy Docker Compose stacks or native binaries under systemd — the same deploy, rollback, status commands for both.
A deploy only counts as success if health checks pass. If they don't, zook rolls back automatically — and halts for you if the rollback also fails.
Per-stack release history and logs live next to your stack on disk. SSH in and read a JSON file. No database, no daemon, no central registry.
Not a replacement for Docker or Dockge — zook is the release controller on top. Keep what you have.
In Ghanaian pidgin, to zook means to hold — to hold right, to manage. That's the whole idea: zook holds your deployments. It manages the release lifecycle of your stacks so a bad version never becomes a bad night.
It's deliberately small. One binary, no framework, no magic. You can read the whole thing, understand every layer, and trust what it does to your server.
zook deploy saas-staging v1.4.2 # pull, health-gate, commit or auto-rollback
zook status # what's running, and is it healthy
zook rollback saas-staging # back to the previous good version
