This page describes the Levelrail template for Opengist (Developer Tools). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://opengist.io/docs](https://opengist.io/docs).

Recommended memory: about 128 MiB.

## Services, ports and volumes

| Service | Image | Container ports | Volumes |
| - | - | - | - |
| `opengist` | `ghcr.io/thomiceli/opengist:1.15.3` | 6157 | `data -> /opengist` |

## Environment variables

| Service | Variable | Value |
| - | - | - |
| `opengist` | `OG_EXTERNAL_URL` | Preset in the template |
| `opengist` | `OG_LOG_LEVEL` | Preset in the template |
| `opengist` | `OG_SSH_GIT_ENABLED` | Preset in the template |

Passwords and keys marked as generated are created for you when the app is deployed and stored as secrets. Values are not shown here.

## Security and requirements

Level: **Standard**.

What this template needs:

* Stores data in named volumes (`opengist`): data.

What Levelrail adds around it:

* Automatic HTTPS and an ingress shield in front of every domain.
* Named volumes can be backed up and restored.
* Deploys are gated on the health check before traffic switches.
* One-step rollback to the previous revision.
* Exposure report shows what is reachable from outside.
* Host firewall rules managed for published ports.

## Deploy Opengist with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select Opengist. Review the Compose body and deploy.

With the CLI:

```bash theme={"dark"}
levelrail-cli templates deploy opengist --name my-opengist
```

See the [service template catalog](https://docs.levelrail.com/templates-and-registry.md) for how templates work, and [Getting started](https://docs.levelrail.com/getting-started.md) if you have not installed Levelrail yet.
