Stackform

Documentation

How to use stackform.online. (This is the product's own docs page \u2014 the interactive API explorer normally auto-generated by FastAPI at /docs has been disabled.)

1. Create an account

Register with an email and password at /register, or log in if you already have an account. Every account gets its own projects, secrets and plan.

2. Build a stack

On the Dashboard, add services from the catalog or load a ready-made template. Drag cards to reorder, click a card to open its configuration drawer, and edit ports, volumes, environment variables, health checks and resource limits.

3. Generate files

The output panel keeps Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore, .env.example and README.md in sync with the canvas, generated server-side on every change. Copy, download individually, or export everything as a ZIP.

4. Premium generators

Upgrade in Settings \u2014 during the launch offer window it's a free one-year unlock with one click; afterwards it's a \u20b9-priced yearly upgrade via Razorpay. Premium unlocks:

  • Kubernetes \u2014 Deployments/StatefulSets, Services, ConfigMaps and PVCs
  • Terraform \u2014 docker_container / docker_network / docker_volume resources
  • Docker Swarm \u2014 a docker-stack.yml with replicas and restart policies
  • Reverse proxy config \u2014 nginx.conf, Traefik labels, or a Caddyfile, generated per service
  • Security scanner \u2014 flags unpinned tags, weak secrets, exposed Docker sockets, missing limits
  • AI stack generation \u2014 describe the app in plain English, get a starting service list
  • GitHub export \u2014 push generated files straight to a repo
  • Cloud sync \u2014 unlimited saved projects (Free is capped at one)

5. Secret manager

In Settings, add a GitHub personal access token (repo scope) to enable GitHub export, and/or an Anthropic API key to have AI stack generation call a real model instead of the built-in keyword heuristic. Secrets are obfuscated at rest in SQLite and never re-displayed after saving.

6. Status page

/healthz shows live app/database health for uptime monitoring, with a machine-readable version at /api/healthz.

Roadmap

Planned next: broader system-design support \u2014 architecture diagrams generated from the same canvas, multi-region topologies, and guided capacity/scaling recommendations alongside the existing config generators.
