Deploying a LeafMVC Application to Fly.io #

What Are We Building #

This experiment will guide you deploying your first LeafMVC / base Leaf application to Fly.io. A majority of the same steps apply to Leaf v3 core as well. This guide uses docker to deploy your application. You do not need to have docker installed on your local machine to follow this guide. Neither do you need to have prior knowledge of docker.

Prerequisites #

This tutorial assumes you have the following:

• A Leaf application
• A Fly.io account
• The flyctl cli tool installed

1. Set up docker in your Leaf application #

You can clone the Fly.io starter template to get started.

git clone https://github.com/cr34t1ve/leaf-fly-io-template.git

This template has a Dockerfile and a fly.toml file already set up for you.

2. Deploy your application #

Navigate to your application's root directory and run the following command:

fly deploy

This command will build your docker image and deploy it to Fly.io.

After setting up your application, you can then run the following to launch your application:

fly launch

You can then visit your application at the URL provided.

Conclusion #

You have successfully deployed your LeafMVC application to Fly.io. You can now scale your application
