Project

Application

Learn about projects and applications on OpenCloud — how to create, deploy, manage, and configure them.

Application

Projects

A Project is a container that holds all your applications and resources together. Every app or resource you create belongs to a project.

Navigate to New Project to create a project.

Create a Project

Go to Projects in the sidebar
Click Create Project
Enter a name (e.g., "My AI Stack", "Production Agents")
Click Create

You must create at least one project before you can deploy anything.

Manage Projects

View: Project cards show name, application count, and resource count
Edit: Open project → Settings tab → update name → Save
Delete: Settings → Delete Project → confirm

Deleting a project permanently removes all applications and resources inside it.

An Application is a ready-to-use program that OpenCloud deploys and runs for you. When you deploy an app, OpenCloud creates a server, installs the software, sets up a web address with SSL, and starts it running 24/7.

Primary applications:

n8n — AI workflow automation (guide)
OpenClaw — Autonomous AI agent (guide)
CoPaw — Multi-channel AI assistant (guide)

Deploy an Application

Prerequisites: An OpenCloud account with credits and at least one project.

Go to Applications > Create Application
Select the application type (n8n, OpenClaw, CoPaw, etc.)
Choose a plan:
- Micro (1 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB storage) — ~$3/month, good for testing
- Mini (2 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB storage) — ~$5/month, good for small teams
- Lite (4 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB storage) — ~$9/month, good for production
Select your project
Click Deploy (takes 1-3 minutes)
Access your application via the generated link

Manage Your Application

Application cards show: name, type, status, plan, and web address.

Start, Stop, Restart

Action	What it does
Start	Boots up the application
Stop	Application becomes inaccessible (data saved, still billed)
Restart	Use when app is slow or unresponsive

Upgrade or Downgrade

Open application detail page
Go to Settings or Plan tab
Select a new plan — pricing changes on the next billing cycle

Delete

Open application → Settings → Delete. This is permanent — all data is lost.

Status Reference

Status	Meaning
Deploying	Setting up (1-3 minutes)
Running	Active and accessible
Stopped	Paused, data preserved
Error	Something went wrong — check logs

Custom Domains

Every application gets a default domain: your-app-name.opencloud.vn. You can also connect your own domain.

Open your application
Go to Domains section
Enter your domain (e.g., mysite.com or app.mysite.com)
Update DNS settings at your domain registrar:
- CNAME record pointing to your OpenCloud address, or
- A record pointing to the server IP
SSL certificate is set up automatically

DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, but usually complete much faster.

You can connect multiple domains to one application. To remove a domain, go to Domains and click Remove.

Logs & Terminal

Logs

View your application's activity log: open application → Logs tab. Logs scroll in real-time with newest entries at the bottom.

Log Pattern	Meaning
`started`	Application is running
`error`	Something went wrong
`connection refused`	Can't connect to database
`200`	Request succeeded
`404`	Page not found
`500`	Internal server error

Terminal

Access the command line: open application → Terminal tab.

The terminal gives direct access to your application's server. Use with care — incorrect commands can break your application.

Common uses: check disk usage, inspect configuration files, run diagnostics, restart internal services.
