Getting Started
Quickstart Guide
Create an account and deploy your first application on RepoCloud
Create Your Account
Sign Up
Visit repocloud.io/register and create your account. New accounts get free credit when they confirm their email.
Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link.
Log In
Go to repocloud.io/login and sign in.
Secure Your Account (Optional)
In the Settings tab, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using any TOTP app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Bitwarden, etc.).
Choose Your Deployment Path
RepoCloud offers three ways to deploy applications. Pick the one that fits your use case:
Container App (Quickest)
Deploy a managed container — no SSH, no server management, automatic SSL. Best for most users.
Browse the Marketplace
Go to the marketplace and find the application you want to deploy.
Click Deploy Now
On the app’s detail page, click Deploy Now.
Configure
Enter a project name. Autoscale is off by default: leave it off to pick a fixed tier, or switch it on and the billed tier follows usage (see Autoscaling). Fill in any app-specific settings (for example, admin credentials).
Deploy
Click Deploy App. Your application is typically ready in 3–7 minutes. The dashboard shows live deployment progress.
Your app gets an auto-generated HTTPS URL. You can add a custom domain later.
VPS App (Full Control)
Deploy a dedicated Ubuntu server with root SSH access and set it up yourself. To have an application installed for you, use the AI Deploy tab.
Top Up Your Balance
A VPS App needs a balance above $3. If the Deploy page asks for a deposit, add credit on Billing.
Pick the Ubuntu VPS
Browse the marketplace and select Ubuntu VPS, a plain Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server with nothing installed on it.
Select a Tier
Tier 2 (2 GB RAM, $6 a month) is the smallest VPS tier, and every VPS App starts at 2 GB of RAM.
Deploy
Click Deploy. The VPS is provisioned with a dedicated IPv4 address. The manage page shows the server’s address and its
ssh root@command, and Email Me sends the root password to your email. Server provisioning typically takes 1–2 minutes.
AI Deploy (GitHub Repository)
An AI agent can install a GitHub repository, such as Coolify, Dokploy, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, or any other public project, on a VPS of yours while you follow and steer it in a chat.
Top Up Your Balance
AI Deploy needs a balance above $3, like every VPS App. If the form asks for a deposit, add credit on Billing.
Go to AI Deploy
Visit repocloud.io/ai-deploy.
Paste Your GitHub URL
Enter the URL of a public GitHub repository.
Choose a Tier and Deploy
Select a tier (Tier 2, $6 a month, is the smallest) and click Deploy. RepoCloud creates the server and the agent researches the repository, then installs and configures it over SSH. You follow the work in a chat and can steer it.
Read The DevOps AI Agent to see what the agent does and how to steer it.
After Deployment
Once your application is running:
Monitor on the Dashboard
The Dashboard shows all your instances with live status indicators. Use search, sort, and filter to manage multiple deployments.
Add a Custom Domain
Connect your own domain through the manage page. Container Apps and VPS Apps both use CNAME records: a VPS App’s record points at the server’s default domain, not at its IPv4 address. A server named Ubuntu VPS has no custom-domain feature. See Custom Domains.
Scale Resources
A Container App with autoscaling switched on re-chooses its billed tier every hour. A fixed Container App changes tier on the Scale Server page and a VPS App on its manage page; a VPS tier change can never make the disk smaller, and a resize can be refused. See Autoscaling and Managing VPS Apps.
Customize with an AI Agent
On a server that AI Deploy set up, open the chat again from the manage page and ask the DevOps AI Agent to change how the application is set up. See AI Agents.
Save Favorites
Click the heart icon on any app in the marketplace to save it for later. View saved apps in the Favorites tab.
