Quick start with Blink

Create a new project

blink projects:add my-project

Create a new service

blink services:add 

You will be prompted to enter a service name:

Enter service name: 

Once you enter the service name, you will be prompted to select a type of service. For this example, select deployment:

Select service type:
> deployment
  storage

You will be prompted to select a docker image name:

Enter image name: nmatsui/hello-world-api

You will be prompted to pass arguments to the docker image. For this example, leave it empty.

Enter command with arguments (Leave empty for default): 

You will be prompted with an option to start service. For this example, select yes:

Start the service immediately?
> Yes
  No

Since we don’t have such image locally we attempt to pull from docker hub.
By default we create a port mapping for the service for port 5000.
This docker image exposes port 3000, so we need to update the port mapping.
