Deploy and Host TrendRadar on Sealos
TrendRadar tracks trending topics, generates scheduled reports, and serves the latest HTML report through a built-in web server. This template deploys TrendRadar with local persistent storage by default and optional S3-compatible remote storage.

About Hosting TrendRadar
TrendRadar collects topic signals on a cron schedule, stores generated SQLite and HTML report files, and exposes the report over HTTP. The template runs the official Docker image with an application ConfigMap and a persistent /app/output volume.
Local storage is the default backend. To use S3-compatible storage, set Storage Backend to remote and fill the S3 endpoint, bucket, access key, secret key, and region fields.
Common Use Cases
- Trend monitoring: Track topics such as AI, cloud, startups, and product launches.
- Scheduled reports: Generate fresh HTML reports on a cron schedule.
- Newsletter research: Collect high-signal items for editorial review.
- Lightweight intelligence dashboard: Serve generated reports from a stable HTTPS URL.
Dependencies for TrendRadar Hosting
The Sealos template includes the TrendRadar container, configuration files, local persistent storage, public HTTPS ingress, and optional S3-compatible storage inputs.

Why Deploy TrendRadar on Sealos?
Sealos provides automatic HTTPS, persistent storage, and a simple deployment form for cron and storage settings. The template gives TrendRadar a stable public report URL with minimal operational setup.
Deployment Guide
- Open the TrendRadar template and click Deploy Now.
- Configure the parameters in the popup dialog. Use
local storage for the built-in persistent volume, or choose remote and fill the S3 fields.
- Wait for deployment to complete, typically 2-3 minutes. After deployment, you will be redirected to the Canvas.
- Open the generated application URL to view the latest HTML report.
