Build from source

Not recommended for production unless you are patching the codebase. The released binaries are reproducible and signed via CI. Building from source means you also own the upgrade path.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.22 or newer
• Node.js 18 or newer (with npm or pnpm)
• make
• git

Build

1. Clone:

   git clone https://github.com/vazra/simpledeploy.git
   cd simpledeploy

2. Build the UI and the binary:

   make build
   # output at bin/simpledeploy

   Need only the Go side (UI already built)?

   make build-go

3. Install:

   sudo cp bin/simpledeploy /usr/local/bin/
   simpledeploy version

Run the test suites

make test       # Go unit + integration
make e2e        # full Playwright E2E (needs Docker)

Hot reload for development

make dev        # rebuilds API + UI on change

Next: Set up your dev environment or jump to First deploy.
