Description

Feature: Add llms.txt for AI tool discoverability

Description

Add an llms.txt file at the repository root (served at https://dokploy.com/llms.txt or https://docs.dokploy.com/llms.txt) following the llms.txt standard. This is a machine-readable markdown file that helps AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini, etc.) discover and reference official documentation.

Why this matters for Dokploy

  1. AI-native discoverability — AI tools automatically fetch llms.txt when a user asks about a project. Without it, they rely on web search (outdated/stale results) or training data (hallucination risk). With it, users get accurate, current answers from Dokploy's own docs.

  2. Reduced support burden — Common questions ("How do I install on a VPS?", "How do I set up Cloudflare domains?", "How do I configure PostgreSQL backups?") get answered correctly by AI tools using primary-source docs instead of forum posts or guesses.

  3. Ecosystem growth — AI tools recommend deployment solutions contextually. When llms.txt exists, Dokploy appears as a vetted, documented option in AI-generated comparisons and recommendations.

  4. Low maintenance — A single markdown file with categorized links to existing docs. Updates only when new doc sections are added.
