Docker Container Deployment Automation

This workflow is ideal for:

• Developers looking to automate Docker container management tasks.
• System Administrators who need to streamline server processes through API calls.
• DevOps Engineers focused on integrating Docker with existing workflows.
• Businesses utilizing WHMCS/WISECP for their operations and seeking efficient backend solutions.
• Technical Teams that require a structured approach to manage server domains and related configurations.

This workflow addresses several key challenges:

• Manual Management: Eliminates the need for manual Docker commands by automating container actions like start, stop, and deployment.
• Error Handling: Provides robust error handling and logging, ensuring users are notified of issues promptly.
• Configuration Complexity: Simplifies the setup of Docker environments by allowing users to define parameters easily and manage configurations through a structured API.
• Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing systems to manage Docker containers, enhancing operational efficiency.

The workflow consists of the following steps:

1. Webhook Trigger: The process begins with a webhook that listens for incoming API requests. This is set up to handle POST requests.
2. Parameter Setting: Initial parameters like server_domain, clients_dir, and mount_dir are set to configure the environment.
3. Condition Check: An If node checks whether the incoming server_domain matches the expected value.
4. Container Actions: Depending on the command received (e.g., container_start, container_stop), the workflow routes to appropriate actions such as starting or stopping the container.
5. Service Actions: Additional commands like test_connection or create are managed through a switch node to handle various service-related tasks.
6. SSH Execution: Commands are executed on the server using SSH, allowing for direct interaction with Docker.
7. Response Handling: The workflow responds to the original webhook request with relevant information or error messages, ensuring the user is informed of the outcome.
