Welcome to Cloud5
Cloud5 is a self-hosted PaaS that lets you deploy apps from GitHub in minutes. No Docker knowledge, no CI/CD pipelines, no config files needed.
Quick Start
- Sign in with your Google account
- Click + Deploy in the top bar
- Paste your GitHub repository URL
- Select a Build Type (Nixpacks auto-detects most stacks)
- Click Deploy and wait for the build
Your app will be live with a public URL within minutes.
Supported Stacks
Nixpacks auto-detects: Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Rust, Java, and more. You can also use a custom Dockerfile.
Build Types
Nixpacks (Recommended) — Auto-detects your stack and builds the right container.
Static — For HTML/CSS/JS sites. Served via Nginx.
Dockerfile — Use your own Dockerfile for full control.
Environment Variables
Go to your app detail, click Environment tab, add key-value pairs, and click Save & Redeploy.
PORT=3000 DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db NODE_ENV=production
Private Repositories
- In Deploy modal, select Private
- Generate an SSH key or select existing one
- Copy public key to GitHub repo's Deploy Keys
- Deploy as usual
Auto Deploy (Webhook)
Each app has a Webhook URL in the Overview tab. Add it to GitHub Webhooks for auto-redeploy on git push.
Auto-assigned Domains
Every deployed app gets a public URL via *.traefik.me. No configuration needed.
Custom Domains
- Go to app detail, click Domains tab
- Enter your domain and port
- Add a DNS A record pointing to
3.39.191.178 - Enable HTTPS for automatic Let's Encrypt SSL
Managing Domains
View all domains across your apps on the Domains page.
Server Monitoring
The Monitor page shows real-time server health:
- CPU — Current load average
- Memory — Used vs total RAM
- Disk — Used vs total storage
- Dokploy — Connection status
Data refreshes automatically every 30 seconds.
Alerts
When an app's status changes, an alert appears in the bell icon. Check top bar for recent alerts.
App Resources
Each app's Overview tab shows container-level CPU and memory usage.
