Important Paths in Docker/Fly Instance

  • /app build directory for Go Pocketbase application codebase
  • /app/bin/pocketbase Pocketbase binary that LiteFS will run and manage sqlite file locking
  • /litefs place where sqlite files should be placed by Pocketbase for replication by LiteFS

Deploying to Fly

  • Copy this project or its config files (Dockerfile, litefs.yml, fly.toml)
  • Launch but don't deploy. You can skip this if you already have an existing Fly app.
  • When Fly has created an app in your Dashboard, run fly attach consul
  • Then you can run fly deploy. Volumes and machines will be created for your primary region.
  • At this point your service should be reachable.
  • Scale to two other regions with fly scale count 2 --region sea,dfw.
  • This will create two new 1Gb volumes to store replicated sqlite databases and two new Machines running Pocketase + LiteFS.
  • Have fun.
