[EN-C013-029] Docker/VPS Canary-Rollback Lane for Agent Infrastructure
Overview
Instead of all-at-once updates, operators run staged Docker/VPS lanes: shadow, canary, then production, with rollback snapshots wired in from day one.
Use Case
- Promote container images through lane-specific compose stacks.
- Auto-run smoke checks (agent reply, cron execution, tool health) before promotion.
- Roll back in minutes using image pinning plus state backups when regressions appear.
Tools Used
cron: scheduled health probes and pre-promotion checksexec: compose deploy scripts and snapshot hooksgateway: controlled restarts after validated config patchessessions_spawn: isolated verification runs against staging lanes
Trend Signals (2026 Q1)
- Self-hosted operators on GitHub shift from "latest tag" deployment to explicit digest pinning.
- VPS threads increasingly combine Caddy/Traefik edge controls with policy checks before rollout.
- Chinese deployment notes call this "灰度发布+秒回滚", focusing on low-drama upgrades for solo maintainers.
