PetaPod's App Catalog is your shortcut to running powerful applications without needing to manually configure containers or build Dockerfiles. With just a few clicks, you can launch production-ready apps — no coding or setup required.
This guide explains how the App Catalog works and how you can deploy apps in seconds.
What Is the App Catalog?The App Catalog is a collection of curated, pre-configured container apps that are ready to run on PetaPod’s cloud platform. These apps are selected to meet common use cases such as:
File storage and backups
AI workflows
Media streaming
No-code automation
Developer tools
Each app comes with the necessary configuration built-in, so you don’t have to worry about setting up the environment.
How One-Click Deployment WorksHere’s how to deploy an app from the catalog:
Head over to your PetaPod dashboard and log in to your account.
Click on the “App Catalog” tab. You’ll see a list of available apps, each with a short description and icon.
Pick the app that fits your needs. For example:
Immich – Secure, self-hosted photo and video storage
Flowise – Visual builder for AI and LLM workflows
Jellyfin – Open-source personal media server
Click on the app to see more details, including what it does and recommended resources.
You’ll be asked to:
Select a region (e.g. Indonesia, Singapore, Germany)
Pick a plan or resource size
Optionally name your container
Defaults are already optimized, so you can just click through if you're not sure.
Click the “Deploy” button. Within seconds, your container is live — no setup scripts, no command line, no waiting.
What Happens Behind the Scenes?PetaPod automatically:
Pulls the latest container image
Sets up networking
Applies sensible defaults
Boots up your app in your chosen region
Everything is handled automatically — but you can still customize things later through the dashboard or CLI (if advanced users prefer).
Managing Deployed AppsOnce deployed, your app appears in your Dashboard under “Running Apps.” From there, you can:
Open the app in your browser
Restart, stop, or delete the container
View usage stats (CPU, memory, storage)
Reconfigure or scale up the container later
Who Is This For?The App Catalog is perfect for:
Beginners exploring container apps
Developers prototyping services
Teams launching tools quickly
Users who want convenience over complexity
