Dokploy: Build SvelteKit on Push, Deploy via Docker Compose with Shared Network

[matthiasguentert]

I am developing a small application with SvelteKit which code I host on Github. This application is ussing Drizzle and a MySQL database.

Now I have created an application in Dokploy using the Github provider that builds my container image on each push to main. So far so good, the application starts and runs - without DB.

I also have created a MySQL database on Dokploy, that I am using with other "compose applications", which I attach to the dokploy-network.

services:
  some-service:
   ...
    networks:
      dokploy-network: {}

networks:
  dokploy-network:
    external: true

But now I am confused on how I should build & run my SvelteKit application. Do I need to create two applications, one to build (and maybe push the image to a container registry) and another to run a docker compose application?

How are you managing such scenarios? How could I automate such a scenario, so that on each push to main, container builds & compose app redeploys?

So far the only solution I see is as follows:

• Create a Dokploy Compose app pointing to a compose file with the external network definition/configuration
• Build the container image via Github actions and push e.g. to a Docker Hub repo
• Configure Docker Hub to issue a Webhook on push towards Dokploy triggering the redeployment of the compose app.

Maybe that's the way to go... I was hoping to get along solely with Dokploy for building and runnning :-)
