Manage changelog

Overview

Manage Changelog explains how to use easyconfig in a clean production workflow. This guide is written for new users, developers, agencies, and server administrators who want a clear path from setup to reliable operation.

When to use this guide

Use this guide when you are configuring the related feature for the first time, reviewing a production setup, training a team member, or preparing the project for customer use.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Open the related easyconfig section and review the current project, service, or setting before making changes.
2. Confirm the required server resources, domain records, ports, credentials, and storage paths.
3. Apply the configuration through the panel using clear names, safe slugs, and production-ready values.
4. Save the change, review the activity log, and confirm the expected status in the dashboard.
5. Test the result in the browser, terminal, or connected application before handing it to users.

Best practices

• Use readable project and service names so other team members can understand the setup quickly.
• Keep environment variables organized and avoid exposing secrets in public pages or documentation.
• Use persistent volumes for data that must survive container restarts.
• Review logs after every deployment, restart, billing update, or infrastructure change.
• Document any custom decision in the project notes or operational handoff file.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Use production credentials only in private settings or encrypted environment variables.
• Avoid changing multiple layers at the same time when diagnosing an issue.
• Keep a backup before changing services, databases, volumes, or billing configuration.

Quick checklist

• Names and slugs are clear.
• Required variables are filled.
• Ports and domains are correct.
• Persistent storage is configured.
• Logs and status are reviewed after saving.

Next step

After completing this guide, continue with the next related documentation article or test the workflow on a clean service before using it for a production customer.

Commands

The panel handles most actions visually, but these commands help beginners understand what a server operator usually checks while working with Docker-based deployments.

docker --version
docker compose version
docker ps
docker logs --tail=100 container_name
df -h
free -m
