All the features we have documented previously are supported by Dokploy Remote Servers. The only feature not supported is remote server monitoring, due to performance reasons. However, all functionalities should work the same as when deploying on the same server where Dokploy UI is installed.
## Server Types
Dokploy supports two types of remote servers:
### Deployment Servers
**Deployment servers** are used to run and host your applications. These servers:
- Run your containerized applications
- Handle traffic routing through Traefik
- Manage application deployments and updates
- Store application data and volumes
When you deploy an application, it runs on a deployment server. You can have multiple deployment servers to distribute your applications across different locations or for redundancy.
### Build Servers
**Build servers** are dedicated servers used to compile and build your applications. These servers:
- Clone your repository
- Build Docker images from your source code
- Push built images to a Docker registry
- Do not run any containers or active processes
Build servers are particularly useful when you want to:
- Separate the build process from deployment
- Use powerful build resources without paying for expensive deployment servers
- Build once and deploy to multiple servers
- Keep your deployment servers lightweight
<Callout type="info">
Build servers are currently **only available for Applications**. This feature is not supported for Docker Compose deployments.
</Callout>
You can configure an application to use a build server by selecting it in the application's **Advanced** settings. The built image will be pushed to a Docker registry, and then pulled by your deployment server(s) for deployment.
## Features
1. **Enter the terminal**: Allows you to access the terminal of the remote server.
