This repo contains a Vagrantfile/Makefile combo that set up all of the Flynn components and dependencies in a working dev/test configuration.

The only requirement is that you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed.

Note: Flynn is alpha-quality software, so things are probably broken.

After checking out this repo, boot up the VM in Vagrant:

vagrant up

After the VM provisioning has finished, log in to it and run make to install the dependencies and boot up the Flynn services:

vagrant ssh

make

With the Flynn processes running, open another terminal and deploy the example application:

vagrant ssh

cd nodejs-example

git push flynn master

If the deploy is successful, the example application should have one instance running which will be running a HTTP server:

curl http://10.0.2.15:55000

The flynn command line tool is used to manipulate the application.

To test out the router and scaling, turn up the web processes and add a domain:

flynn scale web=3

flynn domain example.com

The application will now be accessible via the router:

curl -H "Host: example.com" localhost:8080

Repeated requests to the router should show that the requests are load balanced across the running processes.

flynn ps will show the running processes. To get the logs from a process, use flynn logs:

flynn logs web.1

An interactive one-off process may be spawned in a container:

flynn run bash
