PassDeployer is a modern platform-as-a-service control panel: you push your application or spin up a database, and the platform builds the Docker image, runs the container, and gives you a live URL — plus a full toolbox for logs, a restricted shell, volumes, networks, sharing, a built-in messenger, and a support ticket system. This guide walks through every part of the user interface, section by section, exactly as you will see it in your browser.

How this guide is organized

The guide follows the natural journey of a user: you sign in, pick a plan, create your first service, then learn the deeper tools. Each page documents one area of the product with the exact buttons, dialogs, and behaviors you will meet, so you can use it as both a tutorial and a reference.
