Quick Start Scenarios

The fastest way to learn StageFreight is to read a real .stagefreight.yml that's actually running. Below are live configs across different project archetypes — open the one closest to yours, copy the shape, then reach for Configuration when you want a knob it doesn't show.

This is the happy path

These configs are deliberately representative, not exhaustive. If you want a capability you don't see here, check Configuration to see whether the knob exists yet and what it accepts.

Pick the scenario closest to yours

Scenario	Archetype	Knobs it demonstrates	Live config
Container app (full lifecycle)	Dockerfile image, dev + stable channels	builds, kind: registry, kind: docker-readme, narrate badges, retention	DD-UI
CLI / binary distribution	Go binary + image + downloadable archives	kind: binary, kind: binary-archive, kind: release with checksums	HASteward · Dragonfly · Jetpack
GitOps repo	Flux manifest validation, no image build	lifecycle: { mode: gitops }, cluster auth	Dungeon
Governance / control repo	Policy reconciliation across repos	lifecycle: { mode: governance }	MaintenancePolicy
Dogfood: everything at once	StageFreight building itself	every target kind, kind: command docs build, self-hosted release channels	StageFreight

More scenarios coming

A couple of archetypes aren't public yet and will be added as those repos open up: static site → Cloudflare Pages (kind: pages) and Ansible collection (kind: gitlab-component). Until then, Configuration › Targets documents both.
