FAQPage Schema

How do I restart a stopped Dokploy app?▼

Restarting a stopped Dokploy app requires triggering the manage-app workflow to dispatch a start action and poll until completion. This provides a safe, single-command method to resume previously deployed applications.

Can I use this to start a newly created Dokploy app for the first time?▼

You cannot use this to start a newly created Dokploy app because the system checks for a prior deploy status. If the last_deploy_status is none, it redirects you to onboard-app or fix-app for initial setup.

What happens if I try to start an app that has never been deployed?▼

Attempting to start an app that has never been deployed triggers a refusal due to a missing prior deploy status. The system redirects you to onboard-app or fix-app to resolve the missing deployment history.

Does the start-app workflow wait for the Dokploy app to fully start?▼

The workflow dispatches the start action via manage-app and continuously polls until completion. This ensures the Dokploy app is fully started and operational before the restart process finishes.

Why does my Dokploy app fail to start when the last deploy status is none?▼

A Dokploy app fails to start when the last_deploy_status is none because the system enforces a pre-check guardrail. It redirects you to onboard-app or fix-app instead of attempting an invalid start.
