Deploy a target

deploy creates a target, starts it and attaches the log. A target is a box: a Postgres, a Redis, a game server or a container, all from the same catalogue with the same flags. The shape of the command is already final even though the command cannot complete yet, so scripts written today will work when a region opens.

kraftify deploy --kind postgres --name app-db --region eu

kraftify deploy --kind minecraft --name survival-1 --region eu

Kinds and versions #

--kind takes postgres, redis, minecraft or container, and --kind container --image your/image:tag for anything else. Version defaults to the current stable release for the kind, and --version pins it explicitly so a target does not change under you after a restart.

kraftify deploy --kind postgres --version 17

Size #

--size takes small, medium or large. What the size means depends on the kind: databases are sized by disk, game servers by cores and memory. The rates are published per target per month and readable by the agent before it acts.

The ceiling will refuse you #

A deploy that would take the account past its monthly ceiling is refused, not queued. The refusal names the number that stopped it.

kraftify ceiling
kraftify deploy --kind postgres --size large --region eu

Detach and reattach #

The log is a stream, not a stored file. Ctrl+C detaches and leaves the target running, which is the point: you can close the terminal and come back.
