**Created:** 2026-03-27
**Status:** 🟡 In Progress
**Strategy:** Big Bang (with per-phase code quality reviews)
**Mode:** Automated
**Execution:** Orchestrator

## Summary

A self-hosted tool that automates Docker container deployment with Nginx Proxy Manager integration. Detects new images from Gitea/GitHub registries, deploys containers, and configures reverse proxy routing — all from a web dashboard. Supports multiple simultaneous versions of the same project.

### Parallel Execution Notes
- Phases 3 and 4 are independent (Docker client vs NPM client) — can run in parallel
- Phases 9 and 10 are independent (dashboard vs settings pages) — can run in parallel
