Templates

Templates package one or more Services (sometimes a whole Application layout) so you can reproduce stacks quickly. Start with Templates overview under Templates in the sidebar and Templates concept under Core Concepts in the sidebar when you need the full mental model.

Prerequisites

  • An Application (or willingness to create one as part of the template flow).
  • A Worker Node attached to the target Environment so template Services have somewhere to run.
  • Optional: Integrations overview under Integrations in the sidebar if the template pulls from Git or a registry.

1. Open templates

  1. From the dashboard or Application workflow, open Templates, the marketplace, or your organisation’s template library (exact entry points vary by release).
  2. Browse or search for a template that matches your stack.

2. Choose a template and configure

  1. Select a template and read the description, required Services, and any environment variables it expects.
  2. Choose the Application and Environment (or let the wizard create them if offered).
  3. Fill variables, domains, or compute prompts the template defines.

3. Deploy

  1. Review the list of Services the template will create.
  2. Start the deploy. dFlow may provision Services in sequence, so wait for each Deployment to finish.
  3. Open logs for any Service that fails and adjust configuration.

Expected outcome: Template Services are created, deployed, and visible under your Application.
