Create a Quick App
Choose an app and version, the location, a Kibana connection, and the first start.
Before you start
- Your account balance must be greater than zero.
- Choose the app from the Quick Apps list.
Choose the location
The app is created in the cluster selected at the top of the Quick Apps page. Check the cluster selector before creating.
An app cannot be moved between clusters after creation.
Start creating
On the Quick Apps menu, click Create. If you have no apps yet, the empty state shows Create Quickapp.
Choose the app and version
- Choose the app from the list or a category.
- Choose the version from that app's list.
- Click Create.
This list contains Quick Apps only. To create a database, use the Databases menu.
Kibana connection
If you choose Kibana, the Configure Elasticsearch Connection dialog opens before creation. Choose one of two modes:
- Internal Lexoya ES: select one of the Elasticsearch instances in your account.
- External ES: enter the Elasticsearch Hosts URL, Username (Optional), and Password (Optional).
If you have no internal Elasticsearch instance, external mode is selected automatically. Then click Create Kibana.
After creation
After the success message, you return to the app list. The status changes through:
- Checking balance
- Creating
- Starting
- Running
The first start can take a few minutes. Some apps take longer.
Some apps create companion resources. For example, WordPress creates a MySQL database and a volume, Metabase and n8n create a PostgreSQL database, and Navidrome creates a volume. These resources appear separately in the database or volume lists and are billed separately.
App name
The default name is the app type name. If the name is already used, a unique suffix is added.
To rename:
- Open the app.
- Click the edit icon next to the name.
- Enter the new name and click the check mark.
Resources and domain
Resources are not requested during creation. After creation you can:
- Change resources from Plan.
- Connect a custom domain from Settings → URLs.
