CapRover Server Deployment Overview¶

Prerequisites¶

To ensure successful deployment, the following conditions must be met:

Operating System: Debian (or an APT-based distribution).
Access Rights: A user with root privileges.
Domain Zone: hostkey.in.
Open Ports: 80, 443, 3000.

FQDN of the final panel on hostkey.in domain¶

The following template is used for Wildcard DNS:

Parameter	Value
Prefix	`caprover`
Domain	`hostkey.in`
Full Template	`caprover{Server_ID_from_Invapi}.hostkey.in`

Application Installation Process¶

Installation is performed by deploying the CapRover container using Docker. During the preparation process, the system updates APT packages and configures a Wildcard A record for the domain zone.

Docker Containers and Execution¶

The application runs in a Docker environment. The core component is the CapRover management container.

Parameter	Value
Image Name	`caprover/caprover`
Ports	`80:80`, `443:443`, `3000:3000`
Volumes	`/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock`, `/captain:/captain`
Environment Variables	`ACCEPTED_TERMS=true`
Restart Policy	Not explicitly specified (default for Docker run)

Application Update¶

Updates are performed by updating the image and restarting containers. To update to the latest version, you must execute:

docker pull caprover/caprover && docker run ...

(or an equivalent command to restart the current container).

80: HTTP traffic.
