Deploy your Docker app to GitHub Pages
Step-by-step deployment help for Docker apps on GitHub Pages. We fix Docker-specific deployment issues, configure GitHub Pages, and get your app live. From $19.
Docker issues we fix before deploying
Common Docker problems that affect GitHub Pages deployments.
Running as root user
Containers running processes as root, so a container breakout gives the attacker root access to the host system.
Secrets baked into image layers
API keys, database passwords, or .env files copied into the Docker image during build, permanently stored in image layers even if deleted later.
Bloated image size
Using full OS base images (ubuntu, node:latest) instead of slim or alpine variants, resulting in 1GB+ images that are slow to pull and deploy.
No multi-stage build
Build dependencies (compilers, dev packages) included in the production image, increasing size and attack surface.
GitHub Pages deployment issues we check for
Common GitHub Pages problems that break Docker apps in production.
Client-side routing returns 404 on refresh
React Router and other SPA routers break on page refresh because GitHub Pages doesn't support URL rewrites. Only the root index.html is served for the base path.
API routes have no server to run on
AI-generated Next.js or Express backends can't run on GitHub Pages. There's no server-side execution — only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are served.
Base path not configured for project sites
Project sites deploy to username.github.io/repo-name, but AI tools build with root (/) as the base path, breaking all asset and route references.
Custom domain DNS propagation issues
CNAME file missing from the build output or DNS records misconfigured, causing the custom domain to point nowhere or show GitHub's 404 page.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Docker app to GitHub Pages?
We handle Docker deployments to GitHub Pages end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Docker project, then we configure GitHub Pages, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Docker issues affect GitHub Pages deployments?
Docker projects commonly have running as root user and secrets baked into image layers. On GitHub Pages, these combine with client-side routing returns 404 on refresh and api routes have no server to run on to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Docker project to GitHub Pages?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Docker applications to GitHub Pages. We audit your codebase for Docker-specific issues, configure GitHub Pages correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Docker deployment to GitHub Pages cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all GitHub Pages deployment blockers in your Docker project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
