Deployment workflow
See how Opslin takes software from source code to a running VPS app.
Understand the Opslin workflow: connect a server, connect source code, configure the app, release it, and operate it with visible health and recovery signals.
Direct answer
Opslin works by connecting a compatible Linux VPS you control to a managed control plane, then coordinating source selection, application settings, deployment, domains, logs, monitoring, and recovery from one dashboard.
- Step 1
- Connect a compatible Linux VPS
- Step 2
- Connect GitHub or another supported source
- Step 3
- Review build, port, and environment settings
- Step 4
- Release, monitor, and recover from the dashboard
Connect the server
Add a compatible Linux VPS you control. The dashboard-generated setup flow establishes the outbound agent connection from that server.
Connect the source
Choose a supported repository and branch, or use a supported upload workflow. The source stays associated with the deployment you are reviewing.
Prepare and release the application
Review the build command, start command, application port, environment settings, and target server. Opslin shows deployment stages and returns progress from the connected server.
Operate after release
Review health, metrics, logs, alerts, domain and SSL status, deployment history, and supported recovery controls without losing the relationship between the app and its server.
What remains your responsibility
You still choose the VPS provider, protect your account and application, review production settings, maintain backups where appropriate, and decide which operational actions to approve.
