Fly Setup

1. Install Fly

2. Sign up and log in to Fly

   flyctl auth signup

3. Setup Fly. It might ask if you want to deploy, say no since you haven't built the app yet.

   flyctl launch

4. Important: Fly is going to do an npm install when you deploy your app. This template assumes you have your Remix token available as an environment variable named REMIX_TOKEN for both npm installs on your computer and on Fly's servers. Open up your terminal rc file and add this:

   # .zshrc, .profile, .bash_rc, etc.
   export REMIX_TOKEN="your token here"

   After you've done that, either open a new terminal tab or run source ~/.zshrc (or whatever your rc file is) to get the new env var available in your shell. Now you can run a local npm install.

   npm i

5. Lastly, you'll need to tell Fly about your token as well:

   flyctl secrets set REMIX_TOKEN=${REMIX_TOKEN}

   You can use this for other secrets too, like stripe tokens and database urls.

Development

From your terminal:

npm run dev

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

Deployment

If you've followed the setup instructions already, especially the REMIX_TOKEN environment variable step, all you need to do is run this:

npm run deploy

You can run flyctl info to get the url and ip address of your server.
