pico services

Read our docs at pico.sh.

development

golang >= 1.21.0
direnv to load environment vars

cp ./.env.example .env

Initialize local env variables using direnv

echo dotenv > .envrc && direnv allow

Boot up database

docker compose up -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml --profile db -d

Create db and migrate

make create
make migrate

Build services

make build

All services are built inside the ./build folder.

If you want to start prose execute these binaries from the project root directory:

./build/prose-web
# in a separate terminal
./build/prose-ssh

deployment

We use an image based deployment, so all of our images are uploaded to ghcr.io/picosh/pico

DOCKER_TAG=latest make bp-all

Once images are built, docker compose is used to stand up the services:

docker compose up -d

This makes use of a production .env.prod environment file which defines the various listening addresses and services that will be started. For production, we add a .envrc containing the following:

export COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.prod.yml
export COMPOSE_PROFILES=services,caddy

And symlink .env to .env.prod:

ln -s .env.prod .env

This allows us to use docker-compose normally as we would in development.

For any migrations, logging into the our database server, pulling the changes to migrations and running make latest is all that is needed.
