Deployment

  1. Open the HeyForm template in the Sealos App Store and click Deploy Now.
  2. Keep the default values for a quick deployment, or configure SMTP if you need email verification, password reset, invitations, or notification emails.
  3. Click Deploy Application.
  4. After the deployment is ready, open the App URL shown in Sealos.

First Login and Registration

HeyForm is a web application and requires an account before you can create forms.

  1. Open the deployed HeyForm URL.
  2. Click Create an account or open /sign-up.
  3. Enter your name, email address, and password.
  4. Use a password with at least 8 characters, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and a number.
  5. After signing up, log in with the same email address and password.

Registration is enabled by default in this template. If SMTP is not configured, the account can still be created, but email-based features such as verification messages, password reset emails, invitations, and notifications require valid SMTP settings.

Resource Profile

The template uses the smallest resource profile validated on Sealos for HeyForm Community Edition v3.0.0-rc.7:

  • HeyForm app: 80m CPU / 192Mi memory limits, 20m CPU / 25Mi memory requests.
  • MongoDB: Sealos-managed MongoDB with 500m CPU / 512Mi memory limits.
  • Redis: Sealos-managed Redis with 500m CPU / 512Mi memory limits.
  • Upload storage: one 1Gi persistent volume mounted to both HeyForm upload paths.

A 160Mi app memory limit was tested and caused OOM during startup, so 192Mi is the minimum validated memory limit for this template.
