How Freepod works

Account

A Freepod account belongs to one person and is identified by an email address. Each account has one subdomain, such as alice.freepod.eu.

Apps

An app is one running copy of a product from the catalog, such as Immich or Nextcloud, launched from your account. Each app:

• has its own hostname, under your subdomain or on a custom domain;
• stores its own data, separate from your other apps and from other accounts;
• has a plan that sets its price and storage.

You can run several apps, including several copies of the same product.

Who does what

Freepod	You
Installs and runs the app	Choose the app, its plan and hostname
Provides HTTPS certificates	Set up and use the app itself: accounts, content, its own settings
Updates the app automatically	Keep your own copies of data you cannot lose; see Your data

Using an app — its features, its accounts, its configuration screens — is covered by the app's own documentation, linked from each product guide.

Developer deployments

Freepod also runs applications you build yourself, deployed with the freepod command-line client. They appear on the dashboard alongside catalog apps. See the developer documentation.
