Create a template from a deployed stack

In Portainer you can create an app template from deployed stacks. This is useful if you need to deploy the same stack several times.

From the menu select Stacks, select the already-deployed stack, then click Create template from stack.

Define some properties for the new template, using the table below as a guide.
