Deploy and manage your applications with Appaloft
Docs are organized around what you’re trying to do, not around internal implementation — from your first deployment to servers, domains, environment variables, and troubleshooting.
Appaloft deploys applications to servers you choose (BYOS — Bring Your Own Server), and brings access URLs, configuration, runtime status, and recovery actions together in one place. You don’t need to learn a new set of concepts first — pick something you want to do right now from the list below.
Start from your goal
- I want to get something running — start with First Deployment to deploy an app and get an access URL with the shortest possible path.
- I need to connect a server — read Register And Connect A Server and confirm your SSH credentials and connectivity check pass.
- I want other people to reach my app — read Generated Access URLs and Binding A Custom Domain.
- I need to configure environment variables or secrets — read Configuration Precedence and Handling Secrets Safely.
- I ran into a problem — start with Viewing Logs And Health Summaries or Generating A Safe Diagnostic Summary to find the cause.
- I’m operating Appaloft with an AI agent — read the Agents & Sandboxes Overview.
Suggested reading path
- New users should first read First Deployment to complete one deployment from input to a reachable URL.
- When configuring an app, read Projects, Resources, and Configuration Precedence.
- When configuring access, read Access Overview, Binding A Custom Domain, and Certificates.
- For operations and automation, read the CLI Reference, HTTP API Reference, and Installing Appaloft.
- To automate delivery with an AI agent, read the Full Appaloft Skill and the Agent Deploy Subprotocol.
Opening help inside Appaloft
Fields marked with a ? in the Web console open the related docs page. Self-hosted and binary builds bundle the docs static assets with Appaloft, so help stays reachable even when the server has no public internet access. If you need to replace the local docs site content, see Overriding Static Assets.
For AI agents
These docs are built for automation and AI agents as well as humans: every page has a Markdown twin, and /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt indexes are available at the site root. If you’re configuring an agent that will operate Appaloft, start with the Full Appaloft Skill.
