Clone or Transfer a Docker Compose App

Use Clone to duplicate an app and its data, or Transfer to move the app to another server in your team. You can find both options on the Advanced page under Clone or Transfer App.

Only users with permission to delete the app can clone or transfer it.

Clone the app

Clone an app to test changes safely on a duplicate, or to run an identical instance on a second server.

1. Open your app and navigate to Settings → General.
2. Under Clone or Transfer App, click Clone.
3. Choose the server for the copy.
4. Enter a Name of the copy.
5. Click Clone the app now.

You can clone an app only after it has been deployed.

Transfer the app

Transfer an app when you want to move it to another server in your team.

1. Open your app and navigate to Settings → General.
2. Under Clone or Transfer App, click Transfer.
3. Choose the target server.
4. Start the transfer.

A transfer copies the app and its data to the target server. All deploys and app actions pause while the transfer is running.

Note

If no other server in your team can host the app, the Transfer page will let you know. The target server must meet all requirements for running Docker Compose Apps, as outlined in Before you begin.
