LaunchOps Kit

Production-minded deployment starter for full-stack apps: Docker Compose, Nginx reverse proxy, CI checks, health probes, backups, and release operations.

Why This Exists

Shipping a full-stack project is more than running the app locally. LaunchOps Kit gives small teams a practical operations baseline so a project can move from demo to server with predictable checks and repeatable deployment habits.

Included

• Docker Compose skeleton for app + Nginx.
• Nginx reverse proxy config with health endpoint routing.
• GitHub Actions CI template.
• Environment example with production-safe defaults to review.
• Healthcheck script for release validation.
• Release checklist and backup policy docs.

Quick Start

cp .env.example .env
docker compose up --build

Validate after deploy:

bash scripts/deploy-check.sh http://localhost

Deployment Shape

GitHub push -> CI checks -> Docker image/build -> server compose -> Nginx proxy -> health probe

Suggested App Contract

Your app container should expose:

• GET /health for readiness.
• PORT environment variable.
• structured logs to stdout/stderr.
• migration command documented in release notes.

Roadmap

• PostgreSQL service profile.
• Zero-downtime deploy script.
• Uptime monitor examples.
• Log rotation config.
• Database restore drill.
