Docker: Creating the staging environment

This documentation is part of the Deploy with GitHub Actions guide. You can view the complete guide here: Learn how to deploy your Docker containers using GitHub Actions.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use Docker cloud CaaS (Containers as a Service) solution that provides a host of benefits, including:

• Easily deploy your containers to production with just a docker-compose up.
• Customizable domain name secured with HTTPS (for example, https://api.your-company.com, https://www.your-company.com, https://backoffice.your-company.com).
• Optimal performance and robust security powered by a private and dedicated VM.
• Effortless updates with just a click.

Save time and simplify your life: it only takes 5 minutes to try Stackhero's Docker CaaS cloud hosting solution and deploy your containers to production!

Setting up the staging environment follows the same steps as for production. Simply repeat the process, using staging instead of production.

Next, create a staging branch by running:

git checkout -b staging

And push your staging branch to GitHub:

git push --set-upstream origin staging

After this, GitHub Actions will automatically deploy your staging branch to the dedicated Docker instance for staging.
