fly is renamed to flyctl it seems.
also there is no image builder anymore

how can you deploy with fly currently?

for me what worked was to use the following commands:

//clone repo
flyctl apps create --org personal
//then create fly.toml manually as seen here, change app name https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/run-a-global-image-service/#deploying-docker-images-to-fly
flyctl deploy -i benbusby/whoogle-search:latest

but even then when i try to search it does not load the results

@jeromegn any idea what could be the issue here? I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but you may have a better idea of what's changed since your original PR to include support for Fly.io.

I'm not entirely sure. @eikaramba can you provide logs? flyctl logs

as i said, the steps are not valid anymore. I did this now again

clone repo //is this even needed? i mean i am just using an image for deployment right?
flyctl apps create --org personal //set appname
flyctl deploy -i benbusby/whoogle-search:latest -a YOURAPPNAME

But on the served domain it just returns PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR and that it is not secure.

i'm sorry but i don't even know where to start.
the command flyctl logs -a whoogle-eikaramba outputs

@eikaramba I don't remember everything that I did (I mucked around with SSL certificates & custom domain name), but the gist is that I deployed it from the official Docker image (no repo cloning needed).

All I have is this fly.toml which I deployed:

app = "search-yourexamplename"

kill_signal = "SIGINT"
kill_timeout = 5
processes = []

[build]
  image = "benbusby/whoogle-search:0.5.4"

[env]
EXPOSE_PORT = "80"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_GET_ONLY = "1"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_COUNTRY = "countryFI"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_LANGUAGE = "lang_en"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_SEARCH_LANGUAGE = "lang_en"

[[services]]
  http_checks = []
  internal_port = 80
  processes = ["app"]
  protocol = "tcp"
  script_checks = []

  [services.concurrency]
    hard_limit = 25
    soft_limit = 20
    type = "connections"

  [[services.ports]]
    handlers = ["http"]
    port = 80

  [[services.ports]]
    handlers = ["tls", "http"]
    port = 443

  [[services.tcp_checks]]
    grace_period = "1s"
    interval = "15s"
    restart_limit = 6
    timeout = "2s"

thanks, i did save your config(changed appname and increased image to 0.6.0) and just used

flyctl apps create --org personal //set appname
flyctl deploy

it is serving the app on port 80 (heck it even works on 443 when using hoppscotch). unfortunately for the love of god i am not able to make it work in any browser (chrome,ff,edge). they all try to establish https and it fails.

update: ok strange, after a few minutes it works now?

The URL works fine for me. Did you give it a chance to issue the SSL cert? Could've taken a while for Fly infrastructure to provision the certificate. The Fly CLI had subcommands to check the status of the SSL certificate issuance process.

yes that must be it. thank you very much. i think we can solve it then. just create the fly.toml as:

app = "YOURAPP"

kill_signal = "SIGINT"
kill_timeout = 5
processes = []

[build]
  image = "benbusby/whoogle-search:0.6.0"

[env]
EXPOSE_PORT = "80"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_GET_ONLY = "0"
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_COUNTRY = "countryDE" //adapt as you please
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_LANGUAGE = "lang_de" //adapt as you please
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_SEARCH_LANGUAGE = "lang_de" //adapt as you please

[[services]]
  http_checks = []
  internal_port = 80
  processes = ["app"]
  protocol = "tcp"
  script_checks = []

  [services.concurrency]
    hard_limit = 25
    soft_limit = 20

  [[services.tcp_checks]]
    grace_period = "1s"
    interval = "15s"
    restart_limit = 6
    timeout = "2s"

and do the above two commands. bam
