Services


Creating a service

Currently you can create 4 types of service: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis. They all support the same configuration options.

Configuration

Option Default Description
Config Options Extra CLI arguments to pass to the container creation
Environment Variables Environment variables to start the service with
Image Custom image name to use
Version latest Image version to use
Memory Container memory limit in MB
Shared Memory Override shared memory size for container in MB
Password Override user-level service password
Root Password Override root-level service password

Linking a service

Services need to be linked to an app. Once this is done, the connection information will be available to the app as an environment variable (eg REDIS_URL). These can be viewed in the Environment Variables app page.
