Set up more software
Our guides describe step by step how to install and set up more software on your Seed.
Frequently asked questions about apps
What does an app cost?
The app itself is free. You are billed for the Seed it runs on, by the hour according to its model. If the app needs an IPv4 address, it is added automatically at the regular IPv4 price.
Who installs updates for the app?
The app runs on your Seed and you have full root access. You install updates for the app and the operating system yourself, as described in the app's documentation. For many apps, our guides cover the steps as well.
Can I create a Seed with an app through the Public API?
Yes. The GET /apps endpoint of the Public API returns the catalog with every installable version. When you create a Seed, set the source type to app and the ref to apps/{slug}/versions/{version_slug}. Every app page shows a complete example.
How do I know the setup is complete?
The setup runs on the Seed's first boot and takes a few minutes depending on the app. Once it is complete, the file ready.txt in /root on the Seed contains everything you need next. If you find a failed.txt there instead, please contact our support.
