What This Skill Does

Dokploy API is a Software Development skill that use for Dokploy-specific API operations (apps, deployments, databases, domains, backups, settings) when tasks explicitly involve Dokploy. Route requests to domain modules, enforce inspect-first troubleshooting and controlled mutations via x-api-key authentication, and avoid use for generic Docker/Kubernetes work outside Dokploy..

Dokploy API Skill

Use this skill to operate Dokploy through its API schema and generated domain modules.

Scope guardrails

  • Use this skill only when the task is explicitly about Dokploy.
  • Do not use this skill for generic Docker/Kubernetes guidance unless Dokploy endpoints are involved.
  • Authenticate with x-api-key header.
  • Prefer minimal, reversible changes.

Routing (module-first)

Start at modules/_index.md, then load only the smallest matching module.

Common routes:

  • Applications/deployments: modules/application.md, modules/deployment.md, modules/rollback.md
  • Databases: modules/mysql.md, modules/postgres.md, modules/redis.md, modules/mongo.md, modules/mariadb.md
  • Networking/TLS: modules/domain.md, modules/redirects.md, modules/certificates.md, modules/port.md
  • Platform settings/security/backups: modules/settings.md, modules/security.md, modules/backup.md
  • Git providers: modules/github.md, modules/gitlab.md, modules/bitbucket.md, modules/gitea.md, modules/gitprovider.md

Standard execution flow (required)

  1. Classify intent and choose module by operation family.
  2. Resolve identifiers first using read/list/search endpoints.
  3. Preflight checks: required fields, scope, target existence, dependency impact.
  4. Mutate minimally with the smallest payload required.
  5. Verify outcome using read/status/search endpoints.
  6. Recover if needed using rollback/redeploy/restart operations where available.

Do not run destructive actions unless user intent is explicit.

Mutation safety policy

For create/update/delete/deploy/stop/restart actions, always enforce:

  • inspect before mutate
  • verify after mutate
  • report exact operation IDs used
  • include clear rollback/recovery next step on failure

If required fields are unknown, stop and fetch them from relevant read/list endpoints first.

Secret handling

  • Never echo raw API keys or tokens in user-visible output.
  • Redact secrets in logs and summaries.
  • Prefer environment/secure config storage over inline literals.

References

  • Domain index: modules/_index.md
  • API snapshot: openapi.json
  • Auth/profile source: Dokploy user profile token + x-api-key
