Reproduce what you run
Pin the application artifact and record its configuration.
Use a pinned container or release binary, choose persistent state, put the right services behind a trusted edge, and keep a rollback path.
A local container can prove the product quickly. Production adds harder questions: where data and files persist, which services are public, how secrets and TLS are managed, how health is observed, and how an upgrade can be reversed.
Daptin ships as versioned releases and a container, with Compose useful for evaluation and small coordinated environments. The same runtime can connect to supported external databases and cloud storage.
A production deployment treats the binary as one replaceable piece of a wider owned system. Database, storage, DNS, certificates, monitoring, and recovery must move through change together.
Pin the application artifact and record its configuration.
Keep durable data, files, secrets, and certificates outside disposable runtime layers.
Back up first, observe representative paths, and retain the earlier compatible artifact and recovery plan.
Deployment does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.
Choose the versioned image or release binary.
Connect the database and storage appropriate to the workload.
Configure secrets, TLS, origins, network exposure, and limits.
Monitor, back up, restore, upgrade, and roll back the whole system.
Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.
Run the binary under a service manager with externalized state.
Place a pinned image behind an existing proxy and monitoring stack.
Use Compose as a starting point, then replace examples with real secrets and persistence.
These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes deployment more useful.
Daptin is self-hosted software, not a managed control plane. You own infrastructure, availability, scaling, backups, secrets, DNS, certificates, upgrades, and incident response. Kubernetes work after v0.12.36 is not marketed as a released path.
Run Daptin locally, explore the live administration surface, and follow one complete application path.
