Deploy an example

Two variables point the CLI at your development server. Then you deploy an example app.

Two variables give the address of the server and the server token to the CLI.

1 / 3

Terminal

export FERRY_SERVER=http://127.0.0.1:7878
export FERRY_TOKEN="$(cat ferry-data/api_token)"

The two variables do not change the config that ferry login saved for your usual server.

Terminal

cd examples/node-hello
../../target/debug/ferry up --follow

--follow shows the log until the deploy is live.

Terminal

curl http://node-hello.localhost:8080

The app answers with a line that starts with Hello from Ferry (node)!.

Start the server

ferryd run keeps the server in the foreground. You see its log, and Ctrl+C stops it.

Keep your real server safe

If a Ferry server runs on the machine, give the development server its own data directory, name prefix and ports.
