Deploying a containerized ASP.NET Core MVC app with a MySQL database can seem daunting, but Fly.io makes it surprisingly simple. If you've already launched your app and need to overwrite your existing deployment, follow this guide to smoothly redeploy your updated application.
Install Fly.io CLI
curl -L https://fly.io/install.sh | sh
Authenticate with Fly.io
flyctl auth login
Deploy the Updated App
Ensure you're in the correct project directory where fly.toml
is located:
cd /Users/katysolovewicz/Projects/epicodus/c#/CreatureTeacher.Solution
flyctl deploy
Apply Database Migrations (If Needed)
If your database schema has changed, apply migrations to ensure MySQL is up to date.
flyctl ssh console -a <your-app-name>
dotnet ef database update
exit
Restart the App (If Needed)
flyctl apps restart <your-app-name>
Fly.io provides a streamlined way to deploy and update ASP.NET Core MVC applications with MySQL, making container-based hosting simple and scalable. By following this workflow, you can ensure a seamless redeployment whenever your app needs updates.
Happy coding! 🚀
