Commands for creating a Web App #

💡 You can replace the default values of the commands for PROJECT, STAGE and APPNAME in the form on the right side! A standard pattern might be myproject, production and web (see concepts).

We recommend creating shortcuts for the commands setops and setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE>. See our best practices for setting an Alias.

Create Project and Stage #

setops -p <PROJECT> project:create
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> stage:create

Create Required Secret #

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> secret:create secret_key_base=$(openssl rand -hex 64)

Create Stage Definition #

Push and activate image #

First, you need to build a container image for your application. Then push it to the SetOps container image registry. Look at best practices for building an image

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> image:push --tag v1.0.0 --from-image myimage
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> stage:apply --image-tags <APPNAME>=v1.0.0

Check Running App #

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> task

Check Health Status #

If RUNNING & HEALTHY ✅ Now you can open the website at: https://<APPNAME>.<STAGE>.<PROJECT>.<YOURDOMAIN>/

Logs #

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> log
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> log -f
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> log -f | egrep -v '/.well-known/health-check'  # to filter out Health Check logs

One-Off Tasks #

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> task:run -- echo "Hello World"
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> task:run -- bundle exec rake db:migrate
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --app <APPNAME> task:run --interactive -- echo "Hello World"

Upload Database & S3 Data #

See Backup & Restore for further information.

setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --service <SERVICE> backup
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --service <SERVICE> backup:upload </path/to/my/backup>
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --service <SERVICE> backup            # copy the ID of the latest manual backup
setops -p <PROJECT> -s <STAGE> --service <SERVICE> backup:restore <ID>

Add Worker and other App-Container #

If your application uses background tasks like delayed-job, sidekiq, or clockwork, you need to create a separate App for that.

Create the app (worker might be a good name)
Set container settings (Health Check is not needed if the app is private)
Set all required ENV
Link required services (like database or queue)
Push and activate the same image
