Create

Creating a template allows you to capture your infrastructure in a reusable and distributable format.

Creating a Template

By defining services, environment configuration, volumes, etc., you lay the foundation for others to deploy the same software stack with the click of a button.

If you publish your template to the marketplace, other users in dFlow can deploy it with one click.

• Add a service by clicking the Add New button in the top right-hand corner

• Select the service source (App or Docker Image)

• Configure the service variables and settings

• Once you've added your services, click Create Template

Configuring Services

Configuring services using the template composer is very similar to building a live project in the canvas.

Once you add a new service and select the source, you can configure the following to enable successful deploys for template users:

• Environment tab

  • Add required Variables. Use reference variables where possible for a better quality template

• Settings tab

  • Enable Public Networking with HTTP

  • Configure Builder

• Add a volume

  • To add a volume to a service, right-click on the service, select Attach Volume, and specify the Volume mount path

Convert a Project Into a Template

You can also convert an existing project into a ready-made Template for other users.

• From your project page, click on Convert as Template

• Enter template name and description

• Click on Create

• You will be taken to the template composer page, where you can update the settings and finalize the template creation.

Managing Templates

You can see all of your templates on your Template page. Templates are separated into Personal and Published templates.

You can edit, publish/unpublish and delete templates
