App Deploy

App Deploy is the Sealos documentation section for deploying and managing container apps.

In the product UI, you will usually see this area labeled App Launchpad. This guide uses App Deploy as the canonical docs name and only uses App Launchpad when the exact UI label matters.

Choose the path that matches your job right now.

First Deploy

Start here if you want the shortest path from zero to one running public app on Sealos.

Go to First Deploy

Other paths

Migrate from Docker Compose

Choose this path if you already have a docker-compose.yml and need to translate an existing workload into Sealos without treating it like a brand-new first deploy.

Go to Migrate from Docker Compose

Manage an existing app

Choose this path if your app already exists and you need to change one thing at a time, such as networking, storage, configuration, or scaling.

Go to common next jobs

After your first deploy

Use one focused task page at a time instead of reopening every deployment option at once:

• Domains and Public Access
• Environment Variables
• Config Files
• Persistent Storage
• Update and Redeploy
• Scaling
• Ports and Networking

If you are moving an existing workload rather than starting fresh, use Migrate from Docker Compose instead of the default first-deploy path.

If a deploy is failing, start with Troubleshooting.
