Reference

The short version of how DockHosting behaves in production.

Deploy behavior

• Apps are built into Docker containers.
• Each app gets a free *.dockhosting.dev URL with automatic HTTPS.
• GitHub pushes can trigger deploys after the repo is connected.
• Pull requests can create preview deploys.
• Idle apps scale to zero and wake on the next request.

Database behavior

• Database provisioning runs in the background.
• New databases move from provisioning to running when ready.
• Public access is optional; private network access is the default.
• Firewall rules should be added before exposing a database publicly.
• Backups can be created on demand or scheduled.

Billing behavior

Daily token deductions run after midnight UTC. Running apps, databases, custom domains, build minutes, preview deploys, and database admin panel launches can all spend tokens.

If your balance runs out, running resources may be stopped until you top up.
