Quickstart

Step 1: Install and Set Up the Deckrun CLI

Follow the instructions on the Install Deck CLI page to install and configure Deckrun CLI.

Step 2: Add a Provider

Create a new Personal Access Token in DigitalOcean with full access permissions and save it for the next step.

Add your Personal Access Token using the CLI with the following command:

deck providers add

Step 3: Create a Cluster

The next step is to create the cluster where your applications will run. This process may take up to 15 minutes.

Specify the provider, the cluster name, the number of nodes, and their size:

deck clusters create

Once the cluster is created, Deckrun will automatically install additional components. If a Container Registry does not exist in your provider, Deckrun will provision one.

Step 4: Initialize an Application

Navigate to your project directory and initialize a new application in Deckrun:

cd my-app/

deck init

Your application is now created in Deckrun and ready to be deployed.

Step 5: Deploy an Application

Deploy the application using:

deck deploy

Deckrun will analyze your code, generate a Docker image, upload it to the registry, and deploy it automatically.

Step 6: Access Your Application

Once deployed, Deckrun provides a public URL to access your application. Open the URL in your browser to see your application live.
