## Deployment

1. Log in to aaPanel and click `Docker` in the menu bar
2. The first time you will be prompted to install the `Docker` and `Docker Compose` services, click Install Now. If it is already installed, please ignore it.
3. After the installation is complete, find `Dify` in `One-Click Install` and click `install`
4. configure basic information such as the domain name, ports to complete the installation

> \[!IMPORTANT]
>
> The domain name is optional, if the domain name is filled, it can be managed through \[Website]--> \[Proxy Project], and you do not need to check \[Allow external access] after filling in the domain name, otherwise you need to check it before you can access it through the port

5. After installation, enter the domain name or IP+ port set in the previous step in the browser to access.

* Name: application name, default `Dify-characters`
* Version selection: default `latest`
* Domain name: If you need to access directly through the domain name, please configure the domain name here and resolve the domain name to the server
* Allow external access: If you need direct access through `IP+Port`, please check. If you have set up a domain name, please do not check here.
* Port: Default `8088`, can be modified by yourself

6. After submission, the panel will automatically initialize the application, which will take about `1-3` minutes. It can be accessed after the initialization is completed.
