Sample configuration

Creation

We are now creating a sample configuration which serves a generic application using docker.

Copy and paste this yaml configuration into a file named *test-server.yml+ and place it in the same folder of the executable:

applications:

- name: TestServer

remote: "https://github.com/wufe/polo-testserver"

is_default: true

commands:

start:

- command: docker build --no-cache -t polo-testserver:{{commit}} .

- command: docker run -p {{port}}:3000 -d polo-testserver:{{commit}}

output_variable: container_id

- command: docker image prune -f

continue_on_error: true

stop:

- command: "docker kill {{container_id}}"

continue_on_error: true

- command: docker rm -f {{container_id}}

continue_on_error: true

- command: docker image prune -f -a --filter label=name=polo-test-server

recycle:

inactivity_timeout: 180

startup:

retries: 5

branches:

- test: ^dev$

watch: true

Restart Polo and head to http://localhost:8888 (8888 is the default port).
You should now see the application TestServer.

It will take a while to load the application the first time (depending on connection speed).

In the dashboard you should see the list of all available branches and tags to create a session from.

Overview

With this sample file we are configurating an application called TestServer.
Its main repository is https://github.com/wufe/polo-testserver.
There are a list of commands for starting and stopping the application.

Further info about the configuration options can be found in the next page.
