Install your first app
Pick an app in the App Store, give it a web address, and open it a few minutes later, with HTTPS. The video uses WordPress; every app installs the same way.
Open the App Store
Sign in at my.dargo.net and click App Store in the menu. Search for an app by name, or browse a category such as Website & Blog or Storage.
Click Install on the app
Each card shows the estimated install time and how much memory the app needs. Click Install on the one you want.
Pick the device
Under Select Device, choose the computer the app will run on. It needs to be online. No device yet? Add one first: see Get started.
Choose the web address
Keep Subdomain selected and type a name, for example alexblog. The line under the field shows the full address, for example alexblog.dargo.app, and whether it's free.
If you own a domain and want the app on it, choose Custom Domain instead.
Leave HTTPS and Auto Update on
- HTTPS Enabled gives the address a security certificate, so browsers show the padlock.
- Auto Update keeps the app on its latest version.
Click Install, and wait a minute or two
The portal confirms that the installation has started. To follow it, open Devices and then your device: the app shows Installing… while your computer downloads and starts it.
Open your app
When the app's card is ready, click the arrow at its top right. The app opens at its web address in a new tab.
To change the address or options later, use Settings on the app card. Uninstall removes the app from the device.
Good to know
- The app runs on your own computer, and its data stays there.
- Your computer needs to be on and connected for the app to be reachable.
- Each app gets its own web address. Install as many as your computer has room for.
