Getting Started with strackt

strackt runs your applications on servers you own. You bring a server — one you already rent, or a fresh one from a cloud provider — and strackt handles the rest: provisioning it, deploying your code, keeping it patched, and watching over it. Getting your first application live is two steps.

1. Connect a server

Point strackt at a server you control. It takes over the machine, prepares it with everything your applications will need, and from then on manages its updates and security for you. This usually takes a few minutes.

Start with Connect a server.

2. Add and deploy your application

With a server connected, add your application: tell strackt where your code lives, confirm what it detects your app needs, and deploy. strackt configures the server and runs the deploy for you, showing each step live.

Walk through it in Add and deploy an application.

From here

Once your application is running, you'll usually want to point a domain at it, give it the databases or caches it needs, and set its environment variables. Each of those has its own short guide, and there's one for what to check when something doesn't go to plan. You manage all of it from the same place — your servers stay yours, and strackt keeps them running.
