# Elestio install

id: elestio-install

title: Elestio Install

Elestio is a managed hosting platform that offers one‑click deployment of open source stacks. It provides automated provisioning, backups, monitoring and optional support tiers.

## Why use Elestio

* Quick deployment using a template — minimal ops.

* Managed backups and restore points.

* Simplified TLS, DNS and scaling options.

## Sitecopilot template on Elestio

We publish a Sitecopilot template in the Elestio marketplace. The template defines Docker compose, volumes, and environment variables so you only need to fill secrets and domain settings.

## Deploy steps (high level)

1. Sign in to Elestio and open the marketplace.

2. Search for **Sitecopilot** and choose the template.

3. Fill required fields: domain, admin email, DB password, Redis password, S3 credentials (optional).

4. Launch — Elestio provisions VMs, sets up Docker and deploys the stack.
