Deploy Script

GET /api/deploy

Downloads a shell script that bootstraps a new server for srvly management.

What It Does​

The script automates server hardening and srvly setup in a single run:

  1. SSH hardening — disables password authentication, enforces key-only access
  2. UFW firewall — allows ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), denies everything else
  3. Fail2Ban — bans IPs after 3 failed SSH attempts (1h ban duration)
  4. Docker installation — installs Docker Engine and Compose plugin
  5. srvly deployment — clones the repository, generates .env, starts the stack

Usage​

Run this on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server as root:

curl -sL https://your-domain.com/api/deploy | bash

For non-root setups, you may need to prepend sudo:

curl -sL https://your-domain.com/api/deploy | sudo bash

Notes​

  • The script is idempotent — safe to re-run on an already-configured server
  • It detects existing Docker and skips reinstallation if already present
  • After completion, the server appears in your srvly dashboard
  • This endpoint does not require authentication (it's a public setup script)
