Guides and documentation
19 guides covering how everything here works -- deploying apps, sending email, snapshots, domains, billing and account security.
Cloud Apps
How subscriptions, deploys, snapshots, updates and bandwidth work.
- How Cloud Apps work: subscriptions and appsA subscription is a pool of CPU, memory and disk. Apps draw from it, and you are billed for the pool rather than per app.Read
- Moving an app you already run somewhere elseBring an existing app with you: deploy the same one here, upload your files and your database, and carry on where you left off.Read
- Deploying your first appPick from the catalogue, choose a subscription and a size, and the app is running on HTTPS a couple of minutes later.Read
- Using your own domain with an appPoint a CNAME at your app, check it from the panel, then apply the domain so the app itself uses it. HTTPS is automatic.Read
- Sending email from your appMost apps need to send email to work at all. Here is how to switch it on in about a minute, with nothing to sign up for.Read
- Snapshots: taking, restoring and keeping themEvery app includes one snapshot free. Keeping more is a paid add-on on the subscription.Read
- Reading your app's logsWhen an app misbehaves, its log usually says why in plain words. You do not need a terminal to read it.Read
- Keeping an app up to dateWe check nightly for new versions and tell you. Applying an update is your decision, and databases are never updated automatically.Read
- How we monitor your appsWe check your apps regularly and email you if one stops responding, so you are not the last to know.Read
- Getting into your app: console, files and databaseA shell in the container, SFTP for files, and a one-click database export. Your data is never locked in.Read
- Data transfer and what happens if you exceed itTransfer is metered per subscription, not per app, and resets at the start of each month.Read
- Why an app might be stopped or unreachableSuspension, bandwidth, a failed update, or an app that stopped on its own — how to tell which, and what to do.Read
- Cancelling an app or a subscriptionCancel immediately or at the end of the term you have paid for. Both are self-service, and here is exactly what gets deleted.Read
App setup guides
Step-by-step setup for specific apps in the catalog.
- Setting up popular appsFirst-run notes for the apps people deploy most, including the one step each of them needs that is easy to miss.Read
- The Lounge: your always-on IRC clientSign in, connect to an IRC network, and add more users to your private always-connected IRC client.Read
- Gitea and Forgejo: self-hosted Git (clone over HTTPS)Finish the install, create your admin, and clone/push over HTTPS with an access token -- SSH is not exposed on this platform.Read
- AdGuard Home: private DNS for your devicesUse your AdGuard Home app as a DNS-over-HTTPS resolver on browsers, Windows, macOS and mobile -- and why the address AdGuard shows you is not the one to use.Read
