# How to deploy OpenSEO with xCloud

> Learn how to deploy OpenSEO with xCloud, configure your domain, choose a compatible server, and manage your deployment easily.

[**OpenSEO**](https://xcloud.host/openseo-hosting) can be deployed on xCloud as a one-click Docker application. In this walkthrough, you’ll select OpenSEO from the app catalog, choose a Docker + Nginx server, configure the site title and domain, and confirm that the new OpenSEO site has been successfully deployed on xCloud.

xCloud requires a Docker server to deploy OpenSEO. You can use your own connected server or create an xCloud Managed server. Follow this [documentation](https://xcloud.host/docs/how-to-deploy-custom-docker-application-from-git-repository/) to create a server and get started.

If you already have a Docker server on xCloud, follow the steps below to host OpenSEO:

### 1\. Open the app catalog and search for OpenSEO

From the xCloud dashboard, go to **Sites** and select **New Site**. In the app catalog, search for **OpenSEO**, then choose the OpenSEO app card.

### 2\. Choose where OpenSEO should run

OpenSEO runs on the Docker + Nginx stack. Choose one of these options:

<table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Option</th><th>Use it when</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Deploy on a new server</strong></td><td>You want dedicated resources for OpenSEO or do not already have a compatible Docker + Nginx server.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Existing Docker + Nginx server</strong></td><td>You already have a connected server that can run containerized one-click apps.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Select the server, then click **Continue**.

### 3\. Configure the OpenSEO site details

Enter a clear **Site Title** so you can recognize the site later. Then choose how the domain should be set up:

<table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Domain option</th><th>What it does</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Go Live</strong></td><td>Deploys OpenSEO for a domain you point to the server. Use this when the domain is ready for production.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Demo Site</strong></td><td>Creates a temporary xCloud test domain. Use this to review OpenSEO before connecting the final domain.</td></tr></tbody></table>

For a demo deployment, enter the demo subdomain you want to use, then review the form and continue.

### 4\. Open the installed OpenSEO site in xCloud

After the deployment finishes, open the site from the xCloud site list or from the selected server’s site list. The site overview page shows the OpenSEO site name, server, stack, HTTPS status, and site actions.

## What to do next

-   Click **Visit Site** to open the OpenSEO installation in a browser.
-   Use **Domain** to connect or update the production domain when you are ready to go live.
-   Use **App Actions** for available OpenSEO lifecycle actions, such as restarting or redeploying the app.
-   Use **Environment** if the OpenSEO template exposes environment variables that need to be updated after deployment.
