Install Flyctl
Follow the installation instructions from https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/.
Run flyctl auth signup to create a Fly.io account (email or GitHub).
Run flyctl auth login to login.
Launch
Run flyctl launch (optionally you can specify --dockerfile if you are running from different directory).
This will prompt you a couple questions like the name of your app, deployment region, etc.
Type n for the last 2 questions asking for creating a Postgresql database and whether you want to deploy directly.
? Would you like to set up a Postgresql database now? No
? Would you like to deploy now? No
The launch command will create a fly.toml configuration file in the working directory.
Create and mount 1GB Free Persistent Volume
Run flyctl volumes create pb_data --size=1 —region=ams
It will prompt you to select a region - preferably choose the same region as in 3).
Once finished, open fly.toml and add somewhere at the root level the following mounts config:
[mounts]
destination = "/pb/pb_data"
source = "pb_data"
Your final fly.toml should look something like this:
# fly.toml file generated for pocketbase-test on 2022-09-18T12:44:18+03:00
app = "pocketbase-test"
kill_signal = "SIGINT"
kill_timeout = 5
processes = []
[experimental]
allowed_public_ports = []
auto_rollback = true
[mounts]
destination = "/pb/pb_data"
source = "pb_data"
# optional if you want to change the PocketBase version
[build.args]
PB_VERSION="0.7.7"
