Hey all! Loving Fly, using it in prod for 3 products now (soon 4!) <3
Just wondering if it’s possible to make changes to fly.toml
and deploy them immediately. Currently, it seems that if I change an environment variable’s value and then either run fly deploy
locally or let GitHub Actions do that, it runs a full image build.
Now for my pure Go applications this isn’t a huge problem, it’s fairly fast and is cached. But for larger, more complex apps, which contain a bunch of stuff in the build, it can take a while (especially on Airbnb wifi while travelling! where my options are: run docker build locally and burn laptop battery or run the build remotely and wait for the context to upload - dockerignore helps with the latter, to an extent)
One trick I have used is to make sure fly.toml
is in .dockerignore
so it doesn’t contribute to the diff hash of COPY
/ADD
commands of a Dockerfile.
But, ideally I’d like to be able to push changes to things like environment variables or other things in the fly.toml
file without running through the build part of the deployment process.
Looking at fly deploy
’s options, there’s a --build-only
, I think what I’m looking for would be something like --no-build
or perhaps fly config push
.
Anyway, would love to know if there’s a way to do this hidden in the CLI, thanks!
