Meghly documentation
Plain guides to running websites, apps, databases and business mail on Meghly. New here? Start on this page.
Meghly runs your websites, APIs, background jobs, databases, domains and business mail from one panel. No server setup, Docker or Nginx to think about: you bring the code, Meghly does the rest.

Three things to keep in mind
- Your code stays as it is. Meghly reads it and works out the language, framework and version itself — ASP.NET Core, Node.js, Python, PHP, a static site or your own Dockerfile.
- Every app is kept apart. Each app runs in its own container on its own network; no customer can see another's files or data.
- Deploys have no downtime. Traffic moves to a new version only once it has started and passed its health check. If anything goes wrong the old version keeps running, and one click takes you back to an earlier one.

Getting into the panel
Sign in with the site's Log in button. No account yet? Apply for the beta with the form on the home page — the invitation arrives by email, with everything free for the first 30 days.
During the beta some of the panel's buttons may be renamed or moved. The rules written here (what is needed, what the platform does, which variables you get) do not change.
