Deploy

Deploy Abel

Simply run abel server to start the server:

$ abel server
 INFO  abel > Starting abel-server v0.1.0
 INFO  abel > Abel working path: $HOME/.abel
 INFO  abel > Authentication token: <your-auth-token>
 INFO  abel::server > Abel is listening to 127.0.0.1:3000

For server configuration, see Manual/Server/Configuration.

Deploy Services

Deploy your service with Abel is easier than ever. It only takes an HTTP request to upload the source code to the server and ready to run.

via CLI

$ abel deploy path/to/service \
  --server https://abel.example.com \
  --auth-token <your-auth-token>

or use environment variables to specify them. This can be used along with tools like dotenv for your convenience.

$ export ABEL_SERVER=https://abel.example.com
$ export ABEL_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-auth-token>
$ abel deploy path/to/service

via HTTP

Deploy your service using an HTTP client (here uses curl as example), with header Authorization: Abel <your-auth-token>:

$ curl https://abel.example.com/services/awesome-service \
  -X PUT \
  -H "Authorization: Abel <your-auth-token>" \
  -F multi=@... | jq
{
  "new_service": {
    "name": "awesome-service",
    // ...
  }
}

Now anyone can easily run it through HTTP. Easy, isn't it?

$ curl https://abel.example.com/awesome-service
