Workings of *.fly.dev domains

1

Hi, I’m new to fly.io and came here looking for an easy solution to our feature-branch deployment strategy. I really like the idea of just pushing a Docker image and having it hosted via a simple cli interface.

I’ve been able to set up everything but I can’t seem to ever connect to a running instance.

App
  Name     = feature-fly-justified
  Owner    = personal
  Version  = 2
  Status   = running
  Hostname = feature-fly-justified.fly.dev

Services
PROTOCOL PORTS

IP Adresses
TYPE ADDRESS         CREATED AT
v4   213.188.195.124 9h20m ago

When going to https://feature-fly-justified.fly.dev I get an SSL error.
I’m sure I’m missing something. Do these *.fly.dev domains just work out of the box?

It appears your app does not have any services. What does your fly.toml look like?

If your app does not expose any service, then we don’t route anything to it and will close connections abruptly.

You’ll need to add at least 1 service, check out the documentation on the subject: App Configuration (fly.toml) · Fly

That was it. In our ci pipeline, the fly.toml file got lost in between steps. Making sure it was present fixed it. Thanks!
