[Custom Apps] Creating a container stack with multiple containers

Is it possible to create a stack of containers similar to docker compose in Custom Apps?

sure, there’s a custom app version where you can paste in the content of your compose file, hit save and it will deploy it just like docker compose up would.
Its easily overlooked. You have to press the three dots next to the custom app button

Many thanks.

By the way, do Custom Apps show “Update All” button that I can update as Available Apps do?

can’t answer that, since i only use the custom yaml function when i try to help someone troubleshooting when he/she/other has problem deploying something and remove the app after succeeding in helping someone or after failing to help.
All my apps run in an nspawn “scale-jail” managed by portainer.

Another thing of interest for you may be the code to add a portal button for your apps.
Add this to your compose yaml. As far as my testing goes, it has to be added on the fírst deployment and doesn’t work when added afterwards (for whatever reason that is)

x-portals:
  - host: ipofyourtruenas
    name: Web UI
    path: /
    port: portoftheapp
    scheme: http
