This repo contains a Vagrantfile/Makefile combo that set up all of the Flynn components and dependencies in a working dev/test configuration.
The only requirement is that you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed.
Note: Flynn is alpha-quality software, so things are probably broken.
After checking out this repo, boot up the VM in Vagrant:
vagrant up
After the VM provisioning has finished, log in to it and run make to install
the dependencies and boot up the Flynn services:
vagrant ssh
make
With the Flynn processes running, open another terminal and deploy the example application:
vagrant ssh
cd nodejs-example
git push flynn master
If the deploy is successful, the example application should have one instance running which will be running a HTTP server:
curl http://10.0.2.15:55000
The flynn command line tool is used to manipulate the application.
To test out the router and scaling, turn up the web processes and add a domain:
flynn scale web=3
flynn domain example.com
The application will now be accessible via the router:
curl -H "Host: example.com" localhost:8080
Repeated requests to the router should show that the requests are load balanced across the running processes.
flynn ps will show the running processes. To get the logs from a process, use
flynn logs:
flynn logs web.1
An interactive one-off process may be spawned in a container:
flynn run bash
