Using application templates

Using Application Templates

Templates are pre-configured starting points for deploying common applications. Instead of writing Docker Compose manually, you can choose a template, review the configuration, fill required values, and deploy.

Why templates are useful

• They reduce manual setup work.
• They provide recommended Docker images and ports.
• They help beginners understand which variables are required.
• They keep repeated deployments consistent.

How to deploy from a template

1. Go to Templates.
2. Select the application you want to deploy.
3. Click Deploy or open the template details.
4. Select the project where the service should be created.
5. Review environment variables and default ports.
6. Attach a domain if the application should be public.
7. Start deployment.

Template best practices

• Always change default passwords.
• Use strong environment secrets.
• Attach domains only after DNS is ready.
• Check logs after deployment.
• Create backups before making major changes.

Commands

The panel handles most actions visually, but these commands help beginners understand what a server operator usually checks while working with Docker-based deployments.

docker --version
docker compose version
docker ps
docker logs --tail=100 container_name
df -h
free -m

• Apply the guide in a test project first.
• Check logs after every deployment or configuration change.
• Document custom values for future handoff.
• Review related documentation when domains, SSL, databases, or billing are involved.
