Encore + Nuxt + Dokploy

nstack

A generated full-stack app shape with local HMR, Encore client sync, Dokploy environments, and source-built deployments that do not require Encore Cloud.

Fresh machine path

Install once, then let setup fill the gaps.

curl -fsSL https://nstack.playground.nik.technology/install.sh | bash

The installer creates a user-owned checkout, activates pnpm with Corepack when needed, and links the CLI into ~/.local/bin. Generated apps use nstack setup to install dependencies, bootstrap pnpm and Encore CLI, and check Docker only when declared resources need it.

Local dev

One command runs Encore, Nuxt, and generated-client watching. AI harnesses use nstack devexec for one-shot checks instead of leaving dev servers behind.

Typed frontend API

The Encore client is generated from local metadata and patched for nstack/Dokploy targets, so the frontend does not depend on Encore Cloud environments.

Proper resources

New features are expected to use idiomatic Encore and Nuxt abstractions: APIs, generated clients, databases, caches, Pub/Sub, WebSockets, and other resources where they fit.

Dokploy-first

Production, staging, and previews use nstack targets.

The website itself is configured for nstack.playground.nik.technology. Source deployment reads the generated Compose file from this repository and builds from the website app directory.
