Organizations and projects

Organizations

An organization is your company or team in Shiplon. It owns everything: projects, applications, members, the GitHub connection and the activity log. Its URL name appears in console links and in every app’s address (https://<app>-<organization>.shiplon.app).

You create your first organization right after signing up. You can belong to several, for example your own and a client’s, and switch between them under Settings → Organizations. You can own up to 5 organizations.

Organizations are fully separate: members, apps and data in one are never visible from another, and each runs its apps in its own isolated space on the servers.

Rename an organization

Owners and admins can rename it under Settings → General. The URL name stays the same, so app addresses and links don’t change.

Projects

A project groups related applications, for example “Website”, “Mobile backend” or “Client: Acme”. Every application belongs to exactly one project, so create a project before your first app.

• Create: Projects → New project. Give it a name and, optionally, a description of up to 280 characters.
• Edit: open the project and change its name or description.
• Delete: open the project and use Delete project…. You type the project’s URL name to confirm. A project can only be deleted once it has no applications.

Developers and above can create and edit projects. Admins and owners can delete them.

Deleting an application

Admins and owners can delete an app from the bottom of its page with Delete application…, typing its name to confirm. This takes the app offline and removes everything it uses: its routes and certificates, the running app and its secrets, its deployments, logs, domains, environment variables and built images. It can’t be undone.
