vps-docker-traefik-deploy

vps-docker-traefik-deploy is a skill for Claude Code from thienanblog/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (878 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment guide for running Docker Compose applications on a virtual private server, with Traefik handling incoming web traffic. A VPS is a rented internet-connected server, and Docker packages applications into containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a VPS, configure domains and HTTPS routing, deploy container images, protect private administration, manage persistent data, and test recovery.
Why use it?
It organizes the security, storage, backups, releases, health checks, and rollback steps needed to run an application reliably on a server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vps-docker-traefik-deploy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

VPS Docker Traefik Deploy

Overview

Use this skill to turn an application stack into a real production deployment plan with secure host setup, reverse proxying, registry-based releases, private admin access, persistent storage, backups, and rollback.

Run this skill in the main conversation. Do not spawn subagents, agent teams, or delegated parallel workers unless the user explicitly approves the proposed count and scope after being told that doing so can increase usage. Ask again before expanding an approved scope.

Prefer Ubuntu LTS or Debian stable. Prefer immutable image tags. Prefer Traefik for public ingress and SSH tunnels for admin-only access.

Workflow

  1. Establish facts before changing anything.
  2. Minimize the public network surface.
  3. Baseline the host with a non-root operator account.
  4. Install Docker from the official stable channel.
  5. Deploy Traefik separately from the app stack.
  6. Keep state outside container writable layers.
  7. Deploy app images by pull, not by rebuilding on the server.
  8. Validate health, backup, restore, rollback, and pruning.

Establish Facts

Confirm these points first:

  • operating system and version
  • public domains and subdomains
  • TLS strategy: HTTP challenge or DNS challenge
  • public services: website, API, websocket, admin UI, registry
  • private services: database, Redis, dashboards
  • registry type: managed or self-hosted
  • persistent data locations
  • backup destination and retention
  • restore expectations
  • whether a single VPS is still acceptable

If the project already has deployment docs, read them first and treat them as the application-specific contract.

Public Exposure Rules

Default public ports:

  • 22/tcp for SSH
  • 80/tcp for HTTP redirect and ACME when needed
  • 443/tcp for HTTPS

Keep these private unless there is a strong reason:

  • Traefik dashboard
  • MariaDB or PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • private registry
  • app service ports that can sit behind Traefik
  • internal admin tools

If a GUI tool is required, bind the service to 127.0.0.1 only and use an SSH tunnel from the operator workstation.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
