Clouddley Triggr is a powerful tool that enables you to deploy a Flask application seamlessly, with zero downtime on your server. In this guide, we'll walk you through the application deployment process, highlighting why Clouddley Triggr is your ideal choice for efficient deployments with ease. Let's get started!

Prerequisites

  • A or Account.

  • A account.

  • A application.

  • A virtual machine on a Cloud platform or bare metal server.

Deploy a Flask Application

Optimize your codebase for deployment

To deploy a Flask application on Triggr, create a Procfile in the root directory of your project. This specifies the command used to run the application.

Procfile
web: python app.py

Accessing Clouddley Triggr

Now, let's move on to deploying the Flask application:

  • Open your web browser and sign in to your Clouddley account

  • Proceed to and click on Deploy app

Step 1: Configure Service

  • Choose your Git hosting service; either GitHub or Bitbucket. For this tutorial, we will be using GitHub.

  • Click on Continue with GitHub

Step 2: Configure Git

  • To connect your GitHub user or organization account, click the Select username/organization dropdown and Add GitHub account.

  • Select your repository and the branch from the dropdown list or quickly search.

  • Click on NEXT

Step 3: Configure your Virtual Machine

  • To configure your VM, insert your VM hostname or IP address, VM user, and the VM port for SSH access.

  • Use the Clouddley CLI (recommended) or connect via SSH to verify.

The Clouddley CLI is a command-line tool that allows you to interact with the Clouddley Platform from your terminal.

  • Open the command line of the remote VM you want to configure to Clouddley and install Clouddley CLI by running the command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clouddley/cli/main/install.sh | sh
  • To install Triggr, run the command:

clouddley triggr install

Using the CLI, you can deploy resources, manage configurations, and automate tasks efficiently.

  • Download the public key to your local machine.

  • Run the provided command in your local machine allowing Triggr to connect to your virtual machine.

ssh-copy-id -f -i ~/path/to/downloaded/Publickey username@ipaddress

Replace ~/path/to/downloaded/Publickey ,username and ipaddress with your actual values.

  • Click on Verify. This verifies the connection.

  • Click on NEXT

Step 4: Configure app settings

Insert the name of the application and its port.

The firewall of the virtual machine should allow access to the application port.

Step 5: Configure Environment Variables

  • Add the key-value pairs and Click on Save

  • Click on NEXT

Step 6: Setup Notifications (optional)

  • Select the Alert type. For this tutorial, we will set up Email alerts.

  • Toggle on the buttons of the deployment event (failed, timed out, or success) you want to be notified of.

  • Enter the Email address where you want to receive alerts. (You can add multiple email addresses)

  • Click on Save

  • Click on Deploy

Step 7: Test and Verify the app

  • Click on Go to Dashboard. Your app will be visible on the Triggr apps dashboard.

  • After the app deployment is complete, the app status changes from deploying to running

  • You can test the application functionalities.

You have successfully deployed a Flask application on Triggr. You can manage it directly from the app dashboard by clicking the three dots (...) at the top-right corner to access Edit, Instant Rollback, Scale, Pause, and Delete options.

Furthermore, you can switch to different tabs on the application dashboard to perform the following actions; view your deployment history, view or download logs, add a custom domain, and view the environment variables.

Conclusion

To add environment variables, click on Add Variable

Choose an ENV mode: either a single variable or import variables. Learn more .

To configure the notification settings of the application, click on Add Alert

Click on Website at the top right corner of the page, this opens the URL of the deployed application in your browser.
