Create an Application

What is an Application?​

In IndieCloud, an application is a single instance of a software that you can deploy and manage. It can be a "custom" application that you build yourself, a "managed" application (like Keycloak) or a database (like Postgresql) that you can deploy with just a few clicks.

Create an Application​

Similar to creating a project, you can create a new application by selecting the "New..."-Tile on the Project-Overview page or by clicking the Application-Selector next to the Project-Selector at the top and then select "New App".

Create a new application

First, you need to select the type of application you want to create. You can choose between a range of managed applications (like Keycloak, Postgresql, etc.), or a custom application (it does not matter if its a frontend or backend application).

Note: Some managed applications that require a database (like Keycloak) will automatically get a database created.

Select application type

Then you can enter the name of your application and an optional description. Depending on the type of application, you will have additional fields. You can check the documentation of the specific application type for more information on the required fields.
