This quickstart shows you how to deploy a web service with public HTTPS access.

​
Deploy Your First Service

Create a file named docker-compose.yml: 
services:
  web:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
Deploy through the Phala Cloud Dashboard:
  1. Click “Create CVM”
  2. Select “docker-compose.yml”
  3. Paste the file above
  4. Click “Deploy”

​
Access Your Service

After deployment completes (about 2 minutes), find your endpoint in the dashboard: 
https://<app-id>-8000.dstack-prod5.phala.network
The format is always <app-id>-<port>.<cluster>.phala.network. Your app ID is generated automatically. Click the link to see the nginx welcome page. Your service is now publicly accessible via HTTPS.

​
What You’ve Deployed

Your nginx container is now:
  • Running in a Confidential Virtual Machine (Intel TDX)
  • Accessible via HTTPS with automatic TLS certificates
  • Connected through secure WireGuard tunneling
