App lifecycle

Start, stop, domain, volume, public access, backups, lock, and delete a Quick App.

Start and stop

From the app page or its row menu in the list, choose Start or Stop.
  • While stopped, the app does not answer requests.
  • Data on the volume remains.
  • While the app is stopped, its resources are not billed.
Click Start to run it again.

Restart

Choose Restart from the app menu. Lexoya also restarts the app automatically to apply some settings.

Rename

  1. On the app page, click the edit icon next to the name.
  2. Enter the new name.
  3. Click the check mark.
The name is only a label. It does not affect the domain or the default URL.

Change resources

Choose Plan from the app menu. Ranges and rules are in Resources and replicas.

Connect a domain

  1. Open the app.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Select the URLs tab.
  4. Connect the custom domain and choose the SSL certificate.
The app must be Running to add a domain. See Connecting a domain for DNS and SSL.

Connect a volume

For persistent storage:
  1. Open the app.
  2. Go to the Volumes tab.
  3. Click Add Volume.
  4. Choose an existing volume or create a new one.
  5. Enter the mount path, for example /data.
  6. Click Connect.
Attaching a volume may restart the app. Volume data survives restarts and redeploys.

Public access

Some apps expose a public port, such as Gitea. If the option is available:
  1. Go to Settings → Access.
  2. Click Expose.
  3. Click Unexpose to close the port.
Public access means anyone with the credentials can reach the app. Close it when you are done.

Backups

Quick Apps are added to the account's default backup schedule. To configure the backup location and time, and to restore, see App and disk backups.
A restore creates a new resource and does not replace the current app.

Lock

Lock prevents accidental deletion. Click Unlock to release it. Locking does not stop the app.

Delete an app

  1. Choose Delete from the app menu.
  2. Review the dependent resources.
  3. Type the app name to confirm.
  4. Click Delete.
The app moves to the Trash and is permanently deleted after 24 hours.
Deletion is permanent and the data cannot be recovered. Unlock the app first if it is locked. Companion databases and volumes in the list are deleted too.
