Using the Shipyard private crate registry with Docker
Wait wait wait, so we’re not talking about nix yet?
Well, no! The service we have is pretty simple, and I want to complicate things a bit, to show how things would work in both the Dockerfile and the nix scenario.
And because I don’t like contrived examples, we’re going to do something somewhat real-world: we’re going to geo-locate visitors, and track how many visits we get from each country.
Deploying catscii to fly.io
Disclaimer:
Because I used to work for fly.io, I still benefit from an employee discount at the time of this writing: I don’t have to pay for anything deployed there for now.
fly.io is still sponsoring me for developing hring, but this isn’t a sponsored post. It’s just a good fit for what we’re doing here, with a generous free tier.
In the previous chapter, we’ve written a Dockerfile to build the
catscii service inside Docker. The result is a container image that can be
pushed to production!
Writing a Dockerfile for catscii
Now that our service is production-ready, it’s time to deploy it somewhere.
There’s a lot of ways to approach this: what we are going to do, though, is build a docker image. Or, I should say, an OCI image.
This is still a series about Nix, but again: because the best way to see the benefits of Nix is to do it without Nix first, we’ll use only Docker’s tooling to build the image.
