Quickstart for DocuSeal

Open source, tool to streamline document filling and signing. Create custom PDF forms to complete and sign with an easy-to-use online tool.

Deploy DocuSeal on Elestio

1. Open the DocuSeal deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run DocuSeal properly (at least 1 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. DocuSeal is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access DocuSeal

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your DocuSeal instance.

If the password field is blank, DocuSeal does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
