I assumed there would be a namespace per organisation, seems odd to have names reserved globally

@ekanna can you post your Dockerfile? This appears unrelated to the namespace issue. Indeed, app names must be globally unique. Most organizations will solve this by prefixing the app name with a short identifier like ab-appname.

Are app names in a global namespace?

Hi @thattommyhall

I believe that is because fly.io is generating public url’s for your application that needs to be unique globally.

Deleting and/or renaming apps
