DeployPad
Publish an updated website or app to a server you control.
What it does
DeployPad takes code from a repository and puts the app at a live address. Its setup script prepares a project folder, port, database and web-server settings, then adds the project to the panel.
The thinking
The panel runs on the server it deploys to, with no separate hosting platform in between. Pitch uses it for this website and used it to set up Arabian Luxury.
Project details
Why we built it We wanted every site we build to go live on a server we control, with no hosting platform in between and nothing to be locked into. It was for us first: our own sites and the client sites we host. Why an existing deploy tool would not do is not yet on our record. What it did It deploys this website , and it set up the Arabian Luxury site on our server. It is live and stable. The parts A small server application on our own server, with a web panel in front and the setup script behind it. Licences are bought on this site and arrive by email with the key. And one design choice: it runs on the server it deploys to, so there is no outside platform between a push and a live site. From the product notes The deploy button for your latest updates. DeployPad is a lightweight server management panel that allows you to easily deploy your latest code changes with one click from anywhere without using the terminal or having to be on your computer. Installation and licences DeployPad runs on your server. The existing installation script sets up the panel; read the script before running it on a server you control. Developer licences remain available through the existing checkout: annual licence or lifetime licence . What exists DeployPad is our own deploy panel. It takes a code repository to a live address in minutes, on a server we control, without handing the site to a hosting platform. We built it to deploy our own sites and the client sites we host, and other developers can run it on their own servers. This page shows what it does and what it is built from. The thinking behind it A deploy should be one step on a server you own. When it is, hosting is a choice rather than a dependency. What it does A panel that takes a repository to a live address in minutes. A setup script that gives a new project everything it needs in one go: its own folder, its own port, its own database, its web-server settings and a place in the panel's list. Licences for developers who want to run it on their own servers, sold on this site and sent out by email.
