# Appsmith (/templates/appsmith)



[Appsmith](https://www.appsmith.com) is an open-source builder for admin panels, internal tools and dashboards. You drag widgets onto a page and connect them to your databases and APIs.

Deploy it from the [template list](/templates#deploy-a-template). It takes a minute or two.

## What gets deployed [#what-gets-deployed]

<TemplateServices name="Appsmith" />

Everything Appsmith stores is kept on a volume mounted at `/appsmith-stacks`, so it survives redeploys.

## What you fill in [#what-you-fill-in]

<TemplateInputs name="Appsmith" />

## After it deploys [#after-it-deploys]

Open your domain. Appsmith asks you to create the first account, and that account becomes the admin.

## Good to know [#good-to-know]

* **Email is off**: `APPSMITH_MAIL_ENABLED` is set to `false`. To send invites and password resets, add your SMTP settings to the service variables and redeploy. The [Appsmith email docs](https://docs.appsmith.com/getting-started/setup/instance-configuration/email) list them.
