One-Click VPS Handoff to Server Compass
Send a 1DevTool project straight to Server Compass for VPS deployment. The Deploy dialog auto-detects your Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and .env files, validates them locally, and hands a deployment bundle to the Server Compass desktop app via deep link.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Going from a working project in 1DevTool to a running container on a VPS is a known sequence — it just used to be a tedious one. Find the right Dockerfile, find the right compose file, find the right .env, copy each into Server Compass by hand, hope you didn't drift between local and remote. The handoff packages all that context once, on the machine that already has it, so the deploy starts from there instead of from typing.
