Deployment service

Service that runs a docker container. It can be any public docker image or your own dockerised application You will be prompted to enter a docker image name. We will attempt to find this image locally or pull it from the docker hub.

If you want to deploy your own dockerised application, you would need to lad docker image first. You can do this by running docker build -t <image-name> . in the root of your application.

Once you’ve verified that the image is built correctly, you can deploy it with deploy.sh script

deploy.sh

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t app-name -f Dockerfile ..
docker save app-name | bzip2 | ssh root@< vps_ip > "docker load | blink services:restart app-name"

important

Make sure your platform is matching target platform of your server. Othervise you would need to path --platform flag to docker build command. linux/amd64 | linux/arm64 | linux/x86_64

Storage service

Is a service for hosting databases Currently we support following databases:

MySQL
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
Redis
Clickhouse

Under the hood we will check if server matches the requirements for the database, mount static storage for data persistence and setup the database including ssl certificates and domain name.

blink services:add
Enter service name: local-storage
Select service type:
  deployment
> storage

You can specify the version of the database you want to use, or leave it empty to use the latest version.

By default we expose your database to public for easy connection. If you want to restrict access to your database, you can do so by setting up blink ports:remove and blink domains:remove for your service.
