# Install a 1-Click app

Install a self-hosted app such as n8n, Ghost, Nextcloud, Uptime Kuma or Supabase on one of your servers, or on a new one, with its own address and HTTPS.

## Before you start

- Room for another site on your plan. Each 1-Click app counts as a site.
- A server with enough memory and disk for the app, or a connected cloud provider to create one. See [Connect a server provider](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/connect-a-server-provider).
- A domain for the app, unless you use a free temporary address.

## Step 1: Open the app catalog

Open [1-Click apps](https://app.nuvlo.dev/dashboard/apps) in the sidebar, or click **Create** and choose **1-Click app**. The **App catalog** lists the available apps. Search by name or pick a category, such as **Automation**, **Analytics**, **AI & ML**, **Storage** or **Development**.

The catalog has 20 apps, including n8n, Open WebUI, Ollama, Umami, Plausible, Matomo, Nextcloud, MinIO, Vaultwarden, WireGuard VPN, Ghost, Mattermost, Gitea, Uptime Kuma, Portainer, NocoDB, Penpot, Snipe-IT, Typebot and Supabase.

## Step 2: Pick the app

Click an app tile. **Deploy an app** opens with the app selected. Each app shows the memory and disk it needs, for example **1 GB+ RAM · 5 GB+ disk**.

## Step 3: Choose the server

Under **Server**, click one of your servers, or **New server** to have Nuvlo create one in your cloud account.

- 1-Click apps run in Docker. If the server doesn't have Docker yet, Nuvlo installs it first. This takes a few minutes, and sites already on the server keep running.
- If the server has less memory than the app needs, a warning says so. Choose a bigger server for the app to run well.
- With **New server**, pick the provider, region and plan. Your provider bills you for the server until you delete it. If your plan has no room for another server, Nuvlo shows **Server limit reached**.

Some apps show a warning at the top that you should read before installing. Portainer, for example, can manage every container on the server.

## Step 4: Choose the address

Under **Address**, choose where the app is reachable. The choices depend on your account:

- **Your domain**: enter it under **Domain name**, then add the A record shown below the field at your DNS provider. Add HTTPS once the domain points at the server; see [SSL certificates](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/ssl-certificates).
- **Subdomain**: a name under a domain you already have, such as `n8n.example.com`. For domains on Cloudflare, Nuvlo adds the DNS record and sets up HTTPS.
- A free temporary address: a random name with HTTPS included.

Some apps ask for extra settings below, such as an admin username or SMTP details. Fields marked optional can stay empty. WireGuard VPN needs no address.

Click **Review** followed by the app name.

## Step 5: Review and deploy

Check the app, server, domain and HTTPS. For a new server, the review shows its provider, region, size and monthly cost. Read the note about what to do after the install.

Click **Deploy** followed by the app name.

## Step 6: Save the credentials

The **Deploy** step shows the progress. With a new server, the server is created first; keep the page open, or come back later and deploy the app to the finished server.

When the app is ready, Nuvlo shows what to do next and, for apps that need them, the generated credentials.

> **Warning:** The credentials aren't stored and won't be shown again. Save them now, together with the root password of a new server.

Click **Visit app** to open it, or **Manage** followed by the app name to go to its page.

## Manage an installed app

In the App catalog, click **Installed** to see your apps with their status and server. Click one to open its page, or find it under [Sites](https://app.nuvlo.dev/dashboard/sites) with the **1-Click** filter.

| Tab or button | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Overview** | The address, app version, status, admin username, server and install date. |
| **Domains** | The app's domains and HTTPS. See [Change a site's domain](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/change-site-domain). |
| **Logs** | The app's runtime logs, filtered by level and source. |
| **Settings** | Deleting the app. See [Delete a site](https://app.nuvlo.dev/docs/delete-a-site). |
| **Stop app** / **Start app** | Stops the app's containers, so it goes offline, or starts them again. |
| **Restart app** | Restarts the containers, with a brief downtime. |

For WireGuard VPN, the **Overview** tab offers the client configuration as a download.
