How to launch new app with an existing fly.toml ?

Questions / Help
1

I have existing fly.toml and I want to launch app with this settings and app name.

It ask me: Would you like to copy its configuration to the new app? Yes
but it is not working, new fly.toml is created.

flyctl launch always tries to create a new app. Since you already have a config, you can first create an app with flyctl apps create <app-name> --no-config then deploy with flyctl deploy which will leave the config file alone.

Reusing configs is clunky right now, especially with flyctl launch. Creating an app if it doesn’t exist makes sense though.

The --no-config doesn’t exists. It worked without it.
When deploying, If you have a config file name different than fly.toml, use:

fly deploy -c your-config-file.toml
