Description

What problem will this feature address?

I have a bunch of projects that are only visited once a month/year.
Right now they are running 24/7 and consuming resources.
In some hosting providers they allow you to have auto sleep.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would be very happy if i could to the following:

  • toggle scale to zero/auto sleep
  • provide the amount of time that the projectcontainers should be alive
  • (optional) provide a custom html template to display when its starting
Describe alternatives you've considered

I have tried https://sablierapp.dev/#/ but i could not get it to work.

Additional context

If this stays open for a long time i might give it a shot myself. However i dont have time now and i dont know the internals of Dokploy.

Will you send a PR to implement it?

No

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue; start by mapping Dokploy's container lifecycle and deployment controls. Define how the scale-to-zero toggle, container lifetime, and optional startup HTML template should work, then verify each requested behavior across a project that becomes idle.
