Quickstart
Deploy your first app on Ownkube in minutes. Sign in, connect a source, and get a live URL with managed Postgres, automatic TLS, logs, and metrics built in. No cloud account, no cluster to provision, no card to start browsing.
What you’ll need
Section titled “What you’ll need”- A container image (a public image, or one in a connected registry) or a GitHub or GitLab repository Ownkube can build from source
- About five minutes
-
Sign in
Go to app.ownkube.io/login and sign in with email, GitHub, or Google. Ownkube auto-creates a workspace for you.
-
Connect a source
Open Settings and connect the GitHub App (or GitLab) to build from a repository, or wire up a container registry. Public images need no registry connection.
-
Deploy
Go to Create deployment from your dashboard, pick Web, choose your repo or registry image and tag, set the port your app listens on, and add any environment variables. Click Create deployment.
-
Get a live URL
The deployment page shows live status: build (if building from source), image pull, startup, and health checks. When the status goes healthy, click the generated hostname on the Overview tab. Your app is live, with TLS included.
You’re running
Section titled “You’re running”From here, Ownkube handles the rest. You can:
- Scale automatically on CPU and memory thresholds. See Autoscaling.
- Add a database with one click. See Databases.
- Watch logs and metrics on every deployment. See Monitoring.
- Invite teammates from Settings.
Prefer your own cloud?
Section titled “Prefer your own cloud?”The same app runs in your own AWS account with the same workflow and dashboard, and its logs, metrics, and health checks come with it. It is an option, not a requirement, and most personal software never needs it. When you do, see Connect AWS and Create a cluster under Advanced. AWS is supported today, with GCP and Azure coming soon.
