## What it is
Meteor Up (mup) is a command-line tool that sets up servers and deploys Meteor apps to any Ubuntu server over SSH, using Docker for isolation. It supports single-command setup and deploy, zero-downtime deploys with automatic rollback, load balancing, environment variable management, and free Let's Encrypt SSL.

## Use cases
- deploy a meteor app to my own server
- set up production servers for meteor with one command
- zero downtime deployments for meteor
- free ssl certificates for my meteor app with lets encrypt
- deploy meteor to multiple servers with load balancing
- roll back a failed deployment automatically
- manage environment variables and settings.json for meteor production
- view and tail production app logs from the terminal

## When to choose
- you deploy Meteor apps (1.2+) to your own Ubuntu servers instead of paid hosting like Galaxy
- you want declarative, repeatable server setup and deploys from the command line
- you need zero-downtime deploys, auto-restart, and rollback on failure
- you want built-in Let's Encrypt SSL and log tailing without extra tooling
- you want to deploy non-Meteor Node apps via plugins like mup-node or mup-aws-beanstalk

## When to avoid
- your app is not Meteor or Node-based and no plugin exists for it
- you deploy to Kubernetes or a PaaS with its own deployment pipeline
- your servers are not Ubuntu 14+ or not reachable over SSH
- you need a GUI-based deployment or hosting management experience
