Minio is a s3 compatible, distributed object storage server written in go. It comes with a server, a CLI, and a neat UI: Like for all new cool projects, there is an official docker container for minio, so it takes just a few seconds to test it locally or to deploy it to sloppy.io. As …
This is a guest post by sloppy.io customer Nils Dehl As a JavaScript consultant and trainer at dkd Internet Service GmbH I’m often on the road. During that travel time I like to listen to audiobooks with Spotify. Spotify has a huge amount of uncut audiobooks which is great. An audiobook normally consists of dozens to hundreds of …
Logfiles are the resource no. 1 to get information about your running docker applications. sloppy.io provides a basic view of your logfiles under “Analytics” for every app. You can also process them when using our CLI. Still, it is sometimes more comfortable to use services which are specialised on logfiles. In this post, I will show you …
Over time we have received a lot of questions from our users on why (the hell) we chose the name sloppy.io for our company. Back in 2015 after we finished coding our fully managed docker hosting service, we were looking for an unconventional and catchy name. Our goal was to free developers from time consuming …
GitLab is not only a great code repository but also comes with powerful continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) features to make it your one place to manage and build software projects. Last year they introduced the GitLab Container Registry to make the puzzle even more complete. As we got a lot of requests if it possible to deploy …
Travis CI is a CI service that is free for public github projects. In this post, I would like to shortly describe how you can use Travis CI to implement an automatic Docker deployment according to sloppy.io. The image is built, pushed and deployed to sloppy.io with the CI/CD workflow as soon as a git push …
In this post, I will show you how to build a CI/CD pipeline with codeship and sloppy.io. As an example app, I will use hackathon-starter which is a great boilerplate to start new projects. hackathon-starter comes with a MVC project structure, bootstrap 3, CSRF protection and more. If you want to use your own app, skip the hackathon part and …
In the first part we used docker-compose to locally test and run our changes to the hackathon-starter. Currently, you always have to build the new docker image by yourself, push it to the hub and deploy it to sloppy.io using the UI or sloppy change. In any case, it would be more comfortable to let this …
UPDATE: You can now deploy from docker-compose.yml using our CLI and the sloppy start command. For details and caveats head to our Knowledge Base. When you use our API or you want to import your project into the sloppy.io Web UI, you still need the JSON format. In this blog post I want to show you …
In this series of posts I want to show you how to use docker-compose to quickly get up your next nodejs project by working with hackathon-starter. Of course, you can apply this tutorial to other nodejs projects as well. At the end of the series you will have a dev to production workflow with full CI/CD. Note: …
