deploy_compose
ActiveTool of cloud.redu/mcp
Deploys a MULTI-CONTAINER app — a repo that ships docker-compose.yml / compose.yaml — onto ONE VM via podman-compose, and exposes one or more services at redu.cloud URLs. Use this instead of deploy_app when the repo is a compose stack. Same prereqs + source modes as deploy_app; always run plan_deploy first. PORT is the HOST port for the exposed service. DB: 'compose' uses the stack's own db container; 'managed' provisions a separate managed Postgres/MySQL/MariaDB VM and appends connection env. For WordPress/WooCommerce cluster intent, do not leave the compose db service/local uploads as state: pass app_profile, cluster_target:true, database:'managed', db_engine:'mariadb' or 'mysql', cluster_media_mode:'media_space', and either media_space_id or create_media_space:true. Redu writes an override file that points the WordPress service at managed DB env and mounts the media space into /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads. Poll get_deployment until ready.
