# container > status: experimental Deploy a single container. Because docker swarm refuses to allow end-users to substitute the image name with env vars, this app uses an absolutely heinous hack of [envsubst](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/envsubst-Invocation.html)'ing the compose.file with the incoming env vars. ## Basic usage 1. Set up Docker Swarm and [`abra`] 2. Deploy [`coop-cloud/traefik`] 3. `abra app new container --secrets` 4. `abra app YOURAPPDOMAIN config` - be sure to change `DOMAIN` to something that resolves to your Docker swarm box 5. `abra app YOURAPPDOMAIN deploy` 6. Open the configured domain in your browser to finish set-up [`abra`]: https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/abra [`coop-cloud/traefik`]: https://git.autonomic.zone/coop-cloud/traefik
