Deployments & Build Logs

Every time your application is deployed -- whether triggered by a Git push, a webhook, or a manual action -- Appliku creates a deployment record that tracks the build and release process.

Deployment Statuses

Each deployment goes through a lifecycle and has one of the following statuses:

StatusDescription
NewDeployment has been created and is queued
DeployingBuild or release is actively running
DeployedDeployment completed successfully and the application is running
FailedBuild or release encountered an error
TimeoutDeployment exceeded the maximum allowed build time
AbortedDeployment was manually cancelled

Viewing Build Logs

To view the build output for a deployment:

  1. Go to your application in the dashboard
  2. Open the Deployments section
  3. Click on any deployment record to expand its build logs

Build logs show the full output of the Docker build process, including dependency installation, asset compilation, and any errors that occurred. This is the primary tool for debugging failed deployments.

Triggering a Manual Deploy

You can deploy at any time from the dashboard:

  1. Go to your application overview
  2. Click the Deploy button

This pulls the latest code from the configured branch and starts a new build. Manual deploys are useful when you need to redeploy without pushing new code -- for example, after changing environment variables or build settings.

Aborting a Deployment

If a deployment is in the Deploying state, you can abort it:

  1. Go to the active deployment in the Deployments section
  2. Click Abort

The deployment will be marked as Aborted and the previous version of your application continues running.

Deployment History

Appliku keeps a history of all deployments for each application. You can review past deployments to:

  • Compare build times
  • Identify when a failure was introduced
  • See which commit triggered each deployment

Each deployment record includes the timestamp, status, and the associated Git commit (when available).
