Getting Started

Let's try deploying an application using Dewy. This article explains the basic usage and actual deployment process step by step.

Prerequisites

  • Dewy is installed (see Installation Guide)
  • Go application you want to deploy is published on GitHub Releases
  • Required environment variables are configured

Basic Usage

Server Application Deployment

Example of automatically deploying a server application from GitHub Releases:

# Set environment variables
export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token

# Start server application
dewy server --registry ghr://owner/repo --port 8000 -- /opt/myapp/current/myapp

In this example:

  • ghr://owner/repo: GitHub Releases registry URL
  • --port 8000: Port used by the application
  • /opt/myapp/current/myapp: Path to the application to execute

Static Asset Deployment

For deploying static files like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files:

dewy assets --registry ghr://owner/frontend-assets

Actual Deployment Example

Example Using GitHub Releases

# Configure GitHub Personal Access Token
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Create application directory
sudo mkdir -p /opt/myapp
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/myapp
cd /opt/myapp

# Start Dewy to deploy server application
dewy server \
  --registry ghr://myorg/myapp \
  --port 8080 \
  --log-level info \
  -- /opt/myapp/current/myapp
