Running Docmost on StackBlaze
How the instance is wired
Docmost and PostgreSQL and Valkey and Tenant and Email ship together. The public hostname is the app.
The app is the public URL
Editor, login, and callbacks share the hostname StackBlaze assigns. A custom domain replaces it without a rebuild.
Dependencies stay attached
PostgreSQL and Valkey and Tenant and Email are part of this template. Restart the app and the data store is still there.
Scale from the dashboard
Raise RAM and CPU on Docmost when it gets busy. Attached databases scale on their own.
You operate the instance
Updates, backups, and the lifecycle are yours. There is no vendor seat cap on this template.
