fly.io is a fantastic platform for deploying webapps. I like to have full control by using a Dockerfile as it allows running multiple processes within the one app (e.g. Redis, Sidekiq, crond).
This repo is a bare-bones template for a Sinatra app (other Rack-based libraries could be shoehorned in) that can be quickly deployed on fly.io using fly launch
You will want to edit the .gitignore file on a real-world app to include the fly.toml, Gemfile.lock, and so forth, as appropriate.
To run the app locally:
dotenv bundle exec puma
- Basic Sinatra app
- crond option
- Redis option
- More info on using volumes
- Vite option
