Deploy pre-configured applications with one click. No plitho.yml needed.

Available Templates

Template Description
PocketBase Open Source backend with auth, database, file storage, and admin dashboard

Installing a Template

  1. Go to Templates
  2. Click INSTALL on the template you want
  3. Configure the settings (name, version)
  4. Click Install

Plitho downloads the template, configures the runtime, sets up the database if needed, and starts the application.

Using a Template

After installation, the template app appears in your Apps list like any other app. You can:

  • View logs
  • Manage environment variables
  • Add custom domains
  • Set resource limits
  • All other app management features

Upgrading a Template

  1. Go to TemplatesINSTALLED
  2. Find the template
  3. Click Upgrade
  4. Select the new version

Warning

Upgrades may include database migrations. Back up your data before upgrading.

How Templates Work

Templates are pre-packaged apps with:

  • A defined runtime and dependencies
  • Default configuration
  • Database setup (if needed)
  • Health checks and process management

They're a quick way to get common tools running without writing a plitho.yml from scratch.
