Developer Edition: your own app, online

Run your own Docker app on your device: create a custom app from a Docker Compose file, install it like any App Store app, and open it on its own address with HTTPS.

  1. Open the Develop page

    With Developer Mode on (Settings → Developer), open Develop and click Create Custom App.

  2. Note the host port

    Dargo gives each custom app its own host port, shown at the top of the form (for example 7000). Your compose file must publish the app on that port, for example '7000:80' if it listens on 80 inside the container.

  3. Paste your Docker Compose file

    Give the app a name, paste your docker-compose, and click Create App. The app gets a card on the Develop page.

  4. Install it from the App Store

    Your app is in your App Store now. Find it, click Install, choose a subdomain, and click Install.

  5. Open it

    When the app is ready, click the arrow on its card. It opens on its own web address, with HTTPS.
