### Optional Docker Configuration
Docker socket detection is automatic for local development. The system automatically detects and uses Docker sockets in the following order:
- DOCKER_HOST environment variable (if set)
- Rancher Desktop socket (~/.rd/docker.sock)
- Standard Docker socket (/var/run/docker.sock)
Contributors using Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, Colima, or other Docker alternatives can run `pnpm run dokploy:setup` without any additional configuration.
The following environment variables are only needed for remote Docker host configurations:
- **DOKPLOY_DOCKER_HOST**: Specify a remote Docker daemon host
- **DOKPLOY_DOCKER_PORT**: Specify a remote Docker daemon port
- **DOKPLOY_DOCKER_API_VERSION**: Specify which Docker API version to use (optional)

- **Issue Association:** For any significant change, it's highly recommended to open an issue first to discuss the proposed solution with the community and maintainers. This ensures alignment and avoids duplicated effort. If your PR resolves an existing issue, please link it in the description (e.g., `Fixes #123`, `Closes #456`).
- **Large Features:** Pull Requests that introduce very large or broad features **will not be accepted** unless the idea is first outlined and discussed in a GitHub issue. Large features should be designed together with the Dokploy team so the project stays coherent and moves in the same direction. Open an issue to propose and align on the design before implementing.
### Pull Request Guidelines
- **Keep PRs small and focused.** Avoid very large PRs; prefer several smaller PRs (e.g., one template or one logical change per PR). This speeds up review and keeps the history clear.
- **Test before submitting.** Any PR that has not been tested by the contributor will be closed. This keeps the PR queue tidy and ensures that only contributions that have been verified by their authors are considered.
Thank you for your contribution!

## Environment Variables
The API server requires the following environment variables for configuration:
### Inngest Configuration
Required for the GET /jobs endpoint to list deployment jobs:
- **INNGEST_BASE_URL** - The base URL for the Inngest instance
- Self-hosted: `http://localhost:8288`
- Production: `https://dev-inngest.dokploy.com`
- **INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY** - The signing key for authenticating with Inngest
Optional configuration for filtering and pagination:
- **INNGEST_EVENTS_RECEIVED_AFTER** (optional) - An RFC3339 timestamp to filter events received after a specific date (e.g., `2024-01-01T00:00:00Z`). If unset, no date filter is applied.
- **INNGEST_JOBS_MAX_EVENTS** (optional) - Maximum number of events to fetch when listing jobs. Default is 100, maximum is 10000. Used for pagination with cursor.
### Lemon Squeezy Integration
- **LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY** - API key for Lemon Squeezy integration
- **LEMON_SQUEEZY_STORE_ID** - Store ID for Lemon Squeezy integration
### Docker Configuration
Dokploy automatically detects Docker sockets in the following priority order:
1. **DOCKER_HOST** environment variable (if set)
2. Rancher Desktop socket (`~/.rd/docker.sock`)
3. Standard Docker socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`)
This automatic detection means that Docker Desktop, Rancher Desktop, Colima, and other Docker alternatives work out-of-the-box without manual configuration.
**Optional Environment Variables:**
- **DOCKER_HOST** (optional) - Specifies a custom Docker socket path (e.g., `unix:///path/to/docker.sock`). When set, this takes priority over automatic socket detection.
- **DOCKER_API_VERSION** (optional) - Specifies which Docker API version to use when connecting to the Docker daemon. If not set, the Docker client uses the default API version.
**Remote Docker Host Configuration:**
For connecting to remote Docker daemons, use the following variables:
- **DOKPLOY_DOCKER_HOST** (optional) - Specifies the remote Docker daemon host to connect to (e.g., `tcp://remote-host`).
- **DOKPLOY_DOCKER_PORT** (optional) - Specifies the port for connecting to the remote Docker daemon.
Note: `DOKPLOY_DOCKER_HOST` and `DOKPLOY_DOCKER_PORT` are intended for remote Docker host configurations. For local Docker installations, the automatic socket detection handles connection setup without requiring these variables.
## API Endpoints
### GET /jobs
Lists deployment jobs (Inngest runs) for a specified server.
**Query Parameters:**
- `serverId` (required) - The ID of the server to list deployment jobs for
**Response:**
Returns an array of deployment job objects with the same shape as BullMQ queue jobs:
```json

"name": "string",
"data": {},
"timestamp": 0,
"processedOn": 0,
"finishedOn": 0,

}
]
```
**Error Responses:**

*Note: The response shape is similar across all database services, with the ID field varying (e.g., `mysqlId`, `mariadbId`, `mongoId`, `redisId`).*
**Search Behavior:**
- All searches use case-insensitive pattern matching with wildcards
- Results are ordered by creation date (descending)
- Members only see services they have access to
- Returns total count for pagination UI
## Database Service Update Endpoints
All database services support update operations with flexible configuration options. The following database services share a common update interface:
- **postgres.update** (apiUpdatePostgres)
- **mysql.update** (apiUpdateMySql)
- **mariadb.update** (apiUpdateMariaDB)
- **mongo.update** (apiUpdateMongo)
- **redis.update** (apiUpdateRedis)
**Common Parameters:**
All database update endpoints accept their respective ID field (e.g., `postgresId`, `mysqlId`, `mariadbId`, `mongoId`, `redisId`) as a required parameter, along with optional configuration fields.
**Optional Configuration:**
- `dockerImage` (optional string) - Specifies a custom Docker image for the database service. This allows users to use specific versions or custom-built images instead of the default image for the database type. Available for all five database services (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis).
Additional service-specific parameters are available depending on the database type. The `dockerImage` field provides enhanced configuration flexibility for advanced use cases such as version pinning or using specialized database distributions.
