Security and requirements

Level: Standard. What this template needs:
  • Passwords and keys are generated at deploy time (filebrowser): FILEBROWSER_ADMIN_PASSWORD.
  • Stores data in named volumes (filebrowser): data, files.
What Levelrail adds around it:
  • Automatic HTTPS and an ingress shield in front of every domain.
  • Secrets are generated, stored encrypted and masked in logs and the UI.
  • Named volumes can be backed up and restored.
  • Deploys are gated on the health check before traffic switches.
  • One-step rollback to the previous revision.
  • Exposure report shows what is reachable from outside.
  • Host firewall rules managed for published ports.
