Report the build's own error and refuse daemons too old for BuildKit (closes #234)
A build whose output ends in Docker's error line now fails with that
error, instead of going on to inspect a tag that was never created. The
build output is written to the deployment log before the failure is
recorded, so the log ends in order. Before building, upaas compares the
daemon's API version with 1.39 (Docker Engine 18.09), the first that
builds with BuildKit without experimental mode, and fails the deploy on
an older daemon instead of letting it use the legacy builder. The
README's Compose section gives the update command and the Docker Engine
versions builds need.

# µPaaS by [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin)
A simple self-hosted PaaS that auto-deploys Docker containers from Git
repositories via webhooks from Gitea, GitHub, or GitLab.
## Features
- Single admin user with argon2id password hashing
- Per-app SSH keypairs for read-only deploy keys
- Per-app UUID-based webhook URLs with auto-detection of Gitea, GitHub, and
GitLab
- Branch filtering - only deploy on configured branch changes
- Environment variables, labels, and volume mounts per app
- CPU and memory resource limits per app
- Docker builds via socket access
- Notifications via ntfy and Slack-compatible webhooks
- Simple server-rendered UI with Tailwind CSS
## Non-Goals
- Multi-user support
- Complex CI pipelines
- Multiple container orchestration
- SPA/API-first design
- Support for non-push webhook events (e.g. issues, merge requests)

### Dependency Injection
Uses Uber fx for dependency injection. Components are wired in this order:
1. `globals` - Build-time variables
2. `logger` - Structured logging
3. `config` - Configuration loading
4. `database` - SQLite connection + migrations
5. `healthcheck` - Health status
6. `auth` - Authentication service
7. `app` - App management
8. `docker` - Docker client
9. `notify` - Notification service
10. `deploy` - Deployment service
11. `webhook` - Webhook processing
12. `middleware` - HTTP middleware
13. `handlers` - HTTP handlers
14. `server` - HTTP server
### Request Flow
```
HTTP Request
│
▼
chi Router ──► Middleware Stack ──► Handler
│
(Logging, Auth, CORS, etc.)
│
▼
Handler Function
│
▼
Service Layer (app, auth, deploy, etc.)
│
▼
Models (Active Record)
│
▼
Database
```
### Key Patterns
- **Closure-based handlers**: Handlers return `http.HandlerFunc` allowing
one-time initialization
- **Active Record models**: Models encapsulate database operations (`Save()`,
`Delete()`, `Reload()`)
- **Async deployments**: Webhook triggers deploy via goroutine with
`context.WithoutCancel()`
- **Embedded assets**: Templates and static files embedded via `//go:embed`
## Entrypoints
This repository adheres to the
[Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
standard: normalized scripts in `script/` are the entrypoints for the
development workflow, and the Makefile targets are thin shims that call them. We
provide:
- `script/bootstrap` — install all dependencies (idempotent)
- `script/setup` — make a fresh clone ready for development (bootstrap, then
install-precommit)
- `script/projectname` — output the project name ("upaas")
- `script/test` — run the test suite
- `script/lint` — run golangci-lint
- `script/fmt` — format all code (writes)
- `script/fmt-check` — check formatting (read-only)
- `script/check` — run test, lint, and fmt-check
- `script/docker` — build the Docker image tagged via `script/projectname`
- `script/cibuild` — CI entrypoint: `docker build .` (the Dockerfile runs the
checks, so a green build implies a green repo)
- `script/precommit` — pre-commit checks (`go mod tidy` guard, then
`script/check`)
- `script/install-precommit` — install the git pre-commit hook that runs
`script/precommit`
## Development
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.25+
- golangci-lint
- Docker (for running)
### Commands
```bash
make bootstrap # Install all dependencies (idempotent)
make setup # Bootstrap + install git pre-commit hook
make fmt # Format code
make fmt-check # Check formatting (read-only, fails if unformatted)
make lint # Run comprehensive linting
make test # Run tests with race detection (30s timeout)
make check # Verify everything passes (test, lint, fmt-check)
make build # Build binary
make docker # Build Docker image
make hooks # Install pre-commit hook (runs script/precommit)
```
### Commit Requirements
**All commits must pass `make check` before being committed.**
Before every commit:
1. **Format**: Run `make fmt` to format all code
2. **Lint**: Run `make lint` and fix all errors/warnings
- Do not disable linters or add nolint comments without good reason
- Fix the code, don't hide the problem
3. **Test**: Run `make test` and ensure all tests pass
- Fix failing tests by fixing the code, not by modifying tests to pass
- Add tests for new functionality
4. **Verify**: Run `make check` to confirm everything passes
```bash
# Standard workflow before commit:
make fmt
make lint # Fix any issues
make test # Fix any failures
make check # Final verification
git add .
git commit -m "Your message"
```
The Docker build runs `make check` and will fail if:
- Code is not formatted
- Linting errors exist
- Tests fail
- Code doesn't compile
This ensures the main branch always contains clean, tested, working code.
## Configuration
Environment variables:
| Variable | Description | Default |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `PORT` | HTTP listen port. `UPAAS_PORT` is also read and wins when both are set. | 8080 |
| `UPAAS_DATA_DIR` | Directory for the SQLite database, session key, builds and deployment logs. Deploys need it to be an absolute path unless `UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR` is set. | `./data` (the Docker image sets `/var/lib/upaas`) |
| `UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR` | Host path of `UPAAS_DATA_DIR`, needed when upaas runs in a container so the bind mounts it passes to Docker point at the right host directory. When set, it must be absolute, or upaas refuses to start. | the value of `UPAAS_DATA_DIR` |
| `UPAAS_DOCKER_HOST` | Docker daemon address | unix:///var/run/docker.sock |
| `UPAAS_PLAINTEXT_HTTP` | Set when µPaaS is reached over plain HTTP (no TLS-terminating proxy in front) so CSRF origin checks use `http://`. Leave unset behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. | false |
| `UPAAS_DEBUG` | Enable debug logging. Also sends the session cookie without the `Secure` flag. | false |
| `UPAAS_SENTRY_DSN` | Read but not used: upaas sends nothing to Sentry | "" |
| `UPAAS_METRICS_USERNAME` | When set, `/metrics` is served behind basic auth with this username. When unset, there is no `/metrics`. | "" |
| `UPAAS_METRICS_PASSWORD` | Basic auth password for `/metrics` | "" |
| `UPAAS_MAINTENANCE_MODE` | Only shown as `maintenanceMode` in the `/health` response; it blocks nothing | false |
| `UPAAS_SESSION_SECRET` | Key that signs the session and CSRF cookies. When unset, a random key is generated once and kept in `$UPAAS_DATA_DIR/session.key`. | "" |
| `UPAAS_CORS_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated origins allowed to make cross-origin requests with cookies. When unset, no CORS headers are sent. | "" |
The Docker client also reads the standard `DOCKER_API_VERSION`,
`DOCKER_CERT_PATH` and `DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY` variables; `UPAAS_DOCKER_HOST`, which
has a default, always overrides `DOCKER_HOST`.
## Running with Docker
```bash
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v /path/on/host/upaas-data:/var/lib/upaas \
-e UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR=/path/on/host/upaas-data \
-e UPAAS_PLAINTEXT_HTTP=true \
upaas
```
This recipe serves plain HTTP, so `UPAAS_PLAINTEXT_HTTP=true` is required for
setup and every other form to pass the CSRF origin check. Behind a
TLS-terminating reverse proxy, drop that line.
### Deploying with Docker Compose
[`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) builds the image from this repo and
runs it with the Docker socket and the data directory mounted. It reads its
settings from a `.env` file next to it, which needs at least:
```bash
HOST_DATA_DIR=/srv/upaas/data
```
Other settings from [Configuration](#configuration) go in the same file, except
`PORT`, `UPAAS_PORT` and `UPAAS_DATA_DIR`: the compose file sets both port
settings to 8080 and `UPAAS_DATA_DIR` to `/var/lib/upaas`, overriding `.env`, to
match its port mapping, healthcheck and data directory mount. Then run
`docker compose up -d` from the repo root; `docker compose ps` shows the
container as healthy once `/health` answers. To update, run `git pull` and then
`docker compose up -d --build`: without `--build`, Compose keeps running the
image built from the old checkout.
**Important**: `HOST_DATA_DIR` **must** be an **absolute path** on the host. It
is bind-mounted into the container and passed as `UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR` so that
Docker bind mounts during builds resolve correctly, because the Docker daemon
resolves paths on the host, not in the container. upaas refuses to start when
`UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR` is a relative path such as `./data`.
The port is published on `127.0.0.1:8080` only, for a TLS-terminating reverse
proxy in front of it. Leave `UPAAS_PLAINTEXT_HTTP` unset behind that proxy.
Apps are built with BuildKit, so the stages of a multi-stage build are kept in
Docker's build cache rather than as untagged images. Docker Engine 28.2 and
later keeps that cache under a size limit by default; on older engines, set
`"builder": {"gc": {"enabled": true}}` in the host's `daemon.json`.
Building with BuildKit needs Docker Engine 18.09 or later; on an older engine,
upaas fails the deploy instead of building. A Dockerfile that uses
`RUN --network` needs Docker Engine 23.0 or later unless its `# syntax=` line
names Dockerfile frontend 1.3 or later, such as `docker/dockerfile:1`.
Session secrets are automatically generated on first startup and persisted to
`$UPAAS_DATA_DIR/session.key`.
