PocketPages

Deploying to Production

PocketPages is easy to deploy. If you follow the recommended project structure, everything in /pb_* can be deployed.

The two most popular ways to go live with PocketBase are to use pockethost.io or to self-host using Fly.io.

pockethost.io is the premiere PocketBase hosting service trusted by over 10,000 developers and millions of end users.

In under 30 seconds, you can provision a free instance with unlimited (Fair Use) resources.

Manual Deployment

The easiest way to deploy is using the PocketHost.IO CLI utility (PHIO). Here's how:

  1. Install the PHIO CLI globally:
npm i -g phio
  1. Login to your PocketHost account:
phio login
  1. Link your local project to your PocketHost instance:
phio link <instanceName>
  1. Deploy your project:
phio deploy

Github Actions Deployment

To set up automated deployments using Github Actions:

cp -r node_modules/pocketpages/starters/deploy-pockethost-ga .

You'll need to set a few Github secrets. Look in the YAML file for details.

Deploy to Fly.io

Warning: Self-hosting is an advanced setup. I know Fly pretty well and it still took me an hour.

To set up Fly.io deployment:

cp -r node_modules/pocketpages/starters/deploy-fly-ga .

After this, you should see a Dockerfile and fly.toml.

Use fly launch and fly deploy to create a Fly app and deploy it.
