DEPLOY.md

Deploy to Fly.io

Prior to your first deployment, you'll need to Install Fly CLI.

Login to Fly

fly auth login

Note: If you have more than one Fly account, ensure that you are signed into the same account in the Fly CLI as you are in the browser. In your terminal, run fly auth whoami and ensure the email matches the Fly account signed into the browser.

Create Fly application

fly apps create --org personal --name remix-start

Note: Make sure this name matches the app set in your fly.toml file. Otherwise, you will not be able to deploy.

Store the dotenv values

fly secrets set $(cat .env | xargs -I %s echo %s)

Create a persistent volume for the sqlite

fly volumes create data --size 1 --app remix-start --region sjc

Deploy the application:

fly deploy

The application will available at https://remix-start.fly.dev.

Go to the documentation for more information about Fly CLI.

Connecting to your database

The sqlite database lives at /data/sqlite.db in your deployed application.

You can connect to the live database by running fly ssh console -C database-cli.

Getting Help with Deployment

If you run into any issues deploying to Fly, make sure you've followed all of the steps above and if you have, then post as many details about your deployment (including your app name) to the Fly support community. They're normally pretty responsive over there and hopefully can help resolve any of your deployment issues and questions.
