One Click Apps installs a deployment platform on your VPS, then lets you run applications from a catalogue of 342 open source projects. The applications run on your own instance; you keep SSH access and root privileges at all times.
One Click Apps is rolling out progressively. If the section does not appear on your instance yet, it is not enabled on your account yet.

What you get

Catalogue

342 applications across 38 categories, refreshed automatically

Automatic HTTPS

A Let’s Encrypt certificate on a generated address, or on your own domain

Daily backups

Application volumes saved every day, seven days of retention

Updates

New versions detected and applied from the console

Requirements

Prerequisites
  • A VPS running Debian or Ubuntu
  • At least 2 vCPUs, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk
  • The instance must be running
The feature is included with your VPS at no extra cost. Windows instances are not supported.

Install the platform

1

Open your instance

Log in to the console, open your instance and select One Click Apps in the left menu.
2

Check the requirements

The page lists the requirements and compares them with your instance. A requirement that is not met blocks the installation.
3

Start the installation

Select Install the platform. The task takes a few minutes and its progress is shown in the dialog.
4

Wait for the ready state

When the status badge shows Ready, the platform is installed and you can deploy your first application.

Firewall rules

The installation adds firewall rules to your instance, visible in the Firewall tab: If your instance already had custom firewall rules when you installed the platform, ports 80 and 443 are opened for you. Otherwise the previous inbound behaviour is preserved.

Limits per instance

An instance hosts up to 10 applications. Memory is budgeted as well: 1 GB is reserved for the operating system and the platform, and the remaining RAM is shared between the applications. The console shows the remaining budget, and a deployment that would not fit is refused with an explicit message.
