One-click apps from community templates

Analytics, monitoring, automation: pick a template, fill in two fields, and the whole stack is running.

Some apps are not yours to write. Analytics, monitoring, automation, a wiki: templates install the whole stack in one step.

What a template is

A template is a Compose file with a few questions on top. Deplo asks for the domain and the values only you know, generates the secrets, and starts every service with the right volumes and networks.

YAML
services:
  app:
    image: ghcr.io/example/app:latest
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: postgres://app:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/app
  db:
    image: postgres:17
    volumes:
      - data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
  data:

Updating

Every template app can be redeployed with a newer image from its page. Volumes stay where they are.

Missing one?

A template is a Compose file plus a short description. If an app you use is not in the catalogue, open an issue and tell us which one.

Ten minutes from now,
it's live.

Answer three questions and pick a host, or install Deplo on a server you already have. It's free, and leaving is as easy as arriving. What you do with the money you save is your business.
