Speedrun: Launch on Fly.io

You have an application you want to deploy on Fly.io? You’re in the right place.

Welcome to Fly Launch. For many languages and frameworks, you can deploy your app from zero, with the following three steps.

1. Install flyctl - you’ll need it.
2. Create an account with fly auth signup or login with fly auth login.
3. Run fly launch from inside your project source directory - create, configure, and deploy a new application.

fly launch can configure and deploy the following kinds of apps automatically:

• Crystal
• Deno
• Django
• Elixir
• Go
• Node
• Laravel
• Python
• Rails
• RedwoodJS
• Remix
• NuxtJS
• NextJS
• Ruby
• Static Website

You’re not limited to these kinds of projects, though! fly launch also knows what to do with a Dockerfile, so you can use the tech you love.

Refer to Launch a new app to learn more about what fly launch does.

Next steps

1. Run fly status - show the status of the application instances.
2. Run fly open - open your browser and direct it to your app.
