What is CapRover Deploy?
The CapRover Deploy skill provides a robust interface for AI agents to manage application lifecycles on CapRover servers. By integrating with Openclaw Skills, developers can trigger builds, manage CI/CD pipelines, and monitor deployment status through simple conversational commands or automated triggers.
This skill bridges the gap between development and production by supporting multiple deployment strategies, including GitHub workflow_dispatch for complex CI/CD, direct webhook triggers for lightweight rebuilds, and CapRover App Tokens for CLI-based deployments. It also assists in scaffolding the necessary configuration files like captain-definition and GitHub Action workflows for new projects.
CapRover Deploy Use Cases
- Triggering a production deployment from a specific Git branch
- Setting up automated CI/CD workflows for new repositories
- Checking the real-time status of a GitHub Actions deployment run
- Listing all deployable applications managed by the CapRover instance
- Scaffolding deployment templates like Docker-based or tar-based workflows
How CapRover Deploy Works
- The skill parses the user command and matches it against the configured applications in the config.json file.
- It identifies the most efficient deployment strategy based on available credentials (GitHub Token, Webhook URL, or App Token).
- If using GitHub, it executes a POST request to the GitHub API to dispatch a workflow event.
- Alternatively, it triggers a CapRover webhook or uses the CapRover CLI to push code directly.
- The skill monitors the execution status and reports the outcome back to the user.
