Instances ​

An instance is a server. It's the machine running your apps. On the Hobby and Indie plans, dployr provisions and manages it for you. On Pro, you can also connect your own VPS from any provider you already use.

INFO

Only Linux instances are supported at this time.

What runs on an instance ​

Your services run on your instance. One instance can run as many services as its resources can support. The Instances page in the dashboard shows every instance in your cluster along with the services deployed to it and current resource usage.

Instance detail ​

Click an instance to see:

  • Which services are running on it and their status
  • CPU and memory usage over time
  • The instance's public IP address (used for DNS when adding custom domains)
  • The dployrd version and connection status

Pro features ​

From the instance detail page you can access the Console, File explorer, and Process viewer. See Dashboard for what each one does.

Managing instances from the CLI ​

bash
# List all instances in your cluster
dployr instances

# Details for a specific instance
dployr instance <instance-id>

Managed instances ​

On Hobby and Indie plans, dployr provisions your instance and handles the server setup, OS updates, and dployrd installation. You don't interact with the underlying machine unless you want to via the console.

Your instance is created when you first sign up. If you need a different server size or region, contact support.

Bring Your Own Server ​

Pro subscribers can connect their own servers. See Bring Your Own Server for the setup walkthrough.
