AHA Example

Astro - HTMX - Alpine- Pocketbase - PicoCSS - Fly

Install

Pocketbase

• copy a pocketbase app to the pb directory
• run ./scripts/start.sh to start pocketbase
• import the pb/pb_schema.json to create the contacts db
• create an admin, turn off the API rules on contacts

Astro

• npm i

Running

• in one terminal ./scripts/start.sh - this starts PB
• in another terminal npm run dev - this starts Astro

Loading data

• cd into scripts
• node loadData.js development | production - to load Contacts
• node test.js development | production - to confirm db

Deployment

Both Astro and Pocketbase are deployed to Fly.io

Astro

see Dockerfile and fly.toml Note that this app requires 3 secrets that locally are in the .env.development. To deploy to Fly.io you don't want those secrets in the Dockerfile Instead use fly secrets You have to make three of them like this

fly secrets set POCKETBASE_URL=where ever
fly secrets set POCKETBASE_SUPERUSER=some email
fly secrets set POCKETBASE_PASSWORD=some password

Next, you need to have disk space to write the archive zip file

Add 2 volumes : https://fly.io/docs/launch/volume-storage/

• fly volumes create downloads -r dfw

Verify - notice the downloads in the NAME column.

fly volumes list
