# Setting Up Your Deployment

## Configuring your Project[​](#configuring-your-project "Direct link to Configuring your Project")

Deploying a project with Jetify Cloud requires the following:

1. **A devbox.json or Dockerfile**: If your project contains a `devbox.json` file, devbox will
   automatically generate a Dockerfile that can be used to deploy your application to Jetify Cloud.
   You can also check in a custom Dockerfile if you want to precisely control how your project is
   built
2. **A Service Listening on 8080**. Jetify automatically forwards requests to port 8080 on your
   running container, so you will need to ensure that your service is listening to that port. We
   also recommend setting your service host to `0.0.0.0`.

### Deploying with a devbox.json[​](#deploying-with-a-devboxjson "Direct link to Deploying with a devbox.json")

Jetify Cloud can use your `devbox.json` to generate a Docker container that will install your
project dependencies and run your projects. In addition to installing your packages, Jetify will
also look for and attempt to run any `install`, `build`, and `start` scripts defined in your
devbox.json:

* The **install script** will run after your base container has been initialized and your Nix
  packages are installed. This stage should be used to download and build your application's
  dependencies
* The **build script** runs after the install stage, and should be used to build or bundle your
  application.
* The **start script** will run as your container's entrypoint. This stage should include any
  commands needed to start and run your application.

Below is an example `devbox.json` that can be used for a simple Go project in Jetify Cloud:

```json theme={null}
{
  "packages": ["[email protected]"],
  "env": {
    "GOPATH": "$HOME/go/",
    "PATH": "$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"
  },
  "shell": {
    "init_hook": ["export \"GOROOT=$(go env GOROOT)\""],
    "scripts": {
      "install": "go get ./...",
      "build": "go build -o main.go",
      "start": "go run",
      "run_test": "go run main.go"
    }
  }
}
```

In this case, Jetify Cloud will first install Devbox and all the packages, then run the `install`
and `build` scripts (in that order), and the use `start` as the entrypoint to the application.

You can preview how Jetify will run the project using `devbox generate dockerfile --for prod`

### Deploying with a Custom Dockerfile[​](#deploying-with-a-custom-dockerfile "Direct link to Deploying with a Custom Dockerfile")

If your repo contains a Dockerfile, Jetify Cloud will use that Dockerfile to deploy your service
(even if the project also contains a devbox.json). Your Dockerfile should define an entrypoint that
Jetify can run upon deploying, as well as listen on port 8080.

## Connecting your Repo[​](#connecting-your-repo "Direct link to Connecting your Repo")

Jetify requires you to connect a Github repo in order to deploy your service. To access private
repositories, you will need to install the Devbox Cloud Github app in your repository:

1. From the Create Project screen, select Continue with Github to sign in with Github
2. Select a Github Org to import your project from. If you are only a member of one org, it will be
   selected for you by default.
   1. If this is your first time importing a project from your org, you will need to install the
      Devbox Cloud app to provide access to your project
3. Select a Repository to import your repo. If your project is not in the root directory of your
   repository, you can specify a subdirectory for Jetify to search for your project.

## Choosing an Instance Size[​](#choosing-an-instance-size "Direct link to Choosing an Instance Size")

Jetify will default your deployment to the smallest instance size (0.1 CPU + 512MB RAM). To choose a
different size:

1. Navigate to the **Settings** tab of your project
2. Scroll down to **Deployments**
3. Choose the Machine configuration that best matches your project's needs.

Changes to your instance size will take effect on the next deployment.

## Deleting your Project[​](#deleting-your-project "Direct link to Deleting your Project")

If you no longer want to deploy your project with Jetify Deploys, you can disable deployments in the
Settings tab of your project.
