Application Setup Wizard

After you create an application from GitHub, GitLab, or a custom Git repository, Appliku opens the setup wizard for that application.

If your repository contains an appliku.yml file, Appliku first tries to apply it automatically. While that happens, the setup page shows the configuration progress. When the YAML configuration is applied successfully, Appliku sends you to the application overview.

If no managed YAML configuration is applied, the setup wizard lets you configure the application manually.

Wizard Sections​

The setup wizard shows the same application resources you can manage later from the application settings:

  • Build: build image, build command, Dockerfile path, custom Dockerfile, and static site output directory.
  • Processes: application commands such as web and release.
  • Databases: provision PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, and other supported services.
  • Environment variables: add manual variables or variables derived from provisioned databases.
  • Volumes: add persistent storage for server-mode applications.
  • Domains: add custom domains.

Static site applications do not show processes, databases, or volumes in the wizard. Cluster applications do not show volumes.

Saving Changes​

Each section saves independently. For example, creating a database starts database provisioning immediately, and saving environment variables updates the application configuration right away.

The Deploy now action is available when the application is ready to deploy. For non-static applications, at least one process must be saved first. If you create databases, wait until their status is Deployed before deploying.

You can click Skip setup or Finish setup to go to the application overview without deploying.
