Managing Applications from Templates

Template-Based Applications

Applications deployed from marketplace templates come with sensible defaults. You can customize them to meet your specific needs.

Customizing Environment Variables

Templates define default environment variables, but you can override them:

1. Open your application and navigate to the Environment tab.
2. View the pre-configured variables from the template.
3. Click Edit on any variable to change its value.
4. Click Add Variable to define new custom variables.
5. Save changes and redeploy for the new values to take effect.

Feature Configuration

Toggle application features from the Features tab:

• Enable features available on your plan.
• Disable features you don't need to reduce complexity.
• Feature changes may require a redeploy to take effect.

Redeploying

After making configuration changes:

1. Navigate to the application's main page.
2. Click Redeploy to apply changes.
3. The redeployment uses a rolling update (zero-downtime).
4. Monitor the deployment logs for any issues.

Updating to New Template Versions

When a template is updated by administrators:

• Existing deployments are not automatically updated.
• You'll see a notification if a new version is available.
• Redeploy to pull the latest template image and configuration.
• Review the template changelog before updating.

Reverting Changes

If a configuration change causes issues:

• Revert environment variable changes and redeploy.
• Check deployment logs for errors related to your changes.
• Contact support if you need help restoring your application to a working state.
