Editing, cloning & deleting apps
Building an application
To build your first application, see our Getting Started guide. If you have existing application(s), simply click New Application from your Cloud 66 Dashboard.
Updating application properties
You can access your Settings page from the left-hand nav of your application.
This allows you to edit your application name and other global settings. You can also click the Show More link to see and edit your API and deployment keys. For more detailed app info click the More information link in the Application Type row.
Clone an application
Cloning allows you to quickly duplicate the core settings and components of your application without starting from scratch. Cloning will create a new application with copies of the following:
- Your servers and services
- Your component configuration files (e.g. DB configs)
- Your environment variables
Limitations of cloning an application
Cloning does not duplicate every aspect of your application. For example (but not limited to) it does not copy across any of the following:
- Data inside databases or replicas
- Database replication setups
- Load balancers
- Firewall rules
- Jobs
- SSL certifications
