Deploy to Fly.io

TLDR: Watch the video instead.

Thanks to @ebm for posting a discussion on how to deploy to fly.

1. Set the app name and primary region at fly.toml.

app = "YOUR_APP_NAME"
...
primary_region = "iad"

IMPORTANT: The primary region should match your database (e.g. Supabase) region.

2. Create the app using fly CLI:

fly apps create YOUR_APP_NAME

3. Set your secrets:

You can see the examples at .env.fly.example.

Note: Replace "TODO" with your values or delete the variable before running the command, otherwise empty variables cause the command to throw error.

flyctl secrets set APP_NAME=YOUR_APP_NAME \
SERVER_URL=https://YOUR_APP_NAME.fly.dev \
DOMAIN_NAME=YOUR_APP_NAME.fly.dev \
DATABASE_URL=postgres://{USER}:{PASSWORD}@{HOST}:{PORT}/{DATABASE} \
API_ACCESS_TOKEN=1234567890 \
SESSION_SECRET=abc123 \
JWT_SECRET=abc123 \
SUPABASE_API_URL=TODO \
SUPABASE_KEY=TODO \
SUPABASE_ANON_PUBLIC_KEY=TODO \
STRIPE_SK=TODO \
SUPPORT_EMAIL=TODO \
POSTMARK_SERVER_TOKEN=TODO \
POSTMARK_FROM_EMAIL=TODO \
--app YOUR_APP_NAME

4. Deploy the app:

Make sure to remove "postinstall": "prisma generate" from package.json before deploying.

fly deploy

5. Optional: Scale

fly scale vm shared-cpu-2x --app YOUR_APP_NAME

If you don't scale enough, you may get crashes:
