Benefits of SSD Nodes’ 1-Click Apps

At SSD Nodes, our 1-Click Apps come packed with benefits that stand out from the competition:

1. Full Automation

Sit back and relax, our 1-Click Apps handle everything for you.

Once you hit “install,” the process is fully automated! We’ve taken care of the heavy lifting during development, so you can enjoy a plug-and-play experience without worrying about complex setups.

Behind the scenes, all necessary components, systems, databases, web servers, and scripts are all downloaded, updated to the latest stable versions, and configured for optimal performance.

2. Get Full Credentials

When your app is installed, ready-to-use admin credentials for your application are automatically generated and displayed on the SSD Nodes Dashboard.

(Don’t worry, your passwords are encrypted and securely transmitted via HTTPS.)

3. Personal Domain Name Customization

For all your apps, you can set up a custom domain name, giving your visitors a professional and personalized way to access your application.

4. Latest Stable App Versions

We provide the most stable versions of every app, complete with essential updates and compatibility enhancements, so you can focus on what matters most.

Note: Keep in mind that once you install your application, you will have to update it manually whenever a new version is out.

5. Lightning-Fast Installation

Install and deploy your app in under 5 minutes, it’s that fast.

6. Device-Independent Control

Manage your apps anytime, anywhere. Our mobile-friendly website lets you control and modify your apps, even from your smartphone.

Things to Do After Installing your 1-Click App

1. Set up a Domain Name

To add a domain name to your app, check out our 1-Click Apps’ Primer Document for full instructions.

2. Install Let's Encrypt

All our 1-Click applications are pre-installed with a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate to encrypt your traffic via HTTPS. However, these self-signed certificates are not recognized by browsers, so you will likely see a warning message when you first access your app through a browser. To fix this, we recommend you follow the 1-Click Apps’ Primer Document to set up a Let's Encrypt certificate, which is recognized by all browsers.

You may also use Cloudflare to manage your domain and acheive the same result.
